’Extract’ removes the selected polygons by duplicating the appropriate edges and vertices based on the selection.

The ‘Separate’ feature separates polygon shells within a polygon mesh into their own separate meshes. You would use ‘separate’ to break apart a model that has previously been merged together with the ‘combine’ command.
