XSI model question

[Spike]

Hello, I'm learning to model and I have lots of questions but right now I only need to know one thing.

I've made 2 palm leaves and I've merged them. I want to destroy one of them now to have only one, but I can't delete 2 of the points I don't know why.

Here's the pic:

I want to delete red and blue points. I can delete red points but I can't with the blue ones. Yellow shows off the mesh I want to have.

I model in 3DS max so I don't know how XSI works. I'm assuming you're in a vertex sub-object mode. Can you switch it to face instead? So that you are now selecting faces. Then just select the faces you want to keep and look for something like "detach," whereby it takes the selection and moves it into it's own separate model. Or maybe "clone" the selection to a separate model. Then just delete the remains. Again I don't use XSI so sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's all 3DS terminology.

Yeah it worked, thanks!

I've got another question, I've made the palm but it's not compiling well. The compile it's good, but model is not showed into hammer, nor ingame.
