3 components automatically become one solid

  I am currently in the process to mechanically analyse a rotor section of an electric motor. For the creation of the geometry I use a dxf file. When I select and fill the individual areas (rotor, magnets) after that I get the surfaces. After pulling the surfaces (3 pieces) they connect automatically to one volume element. But I want to have three single volume elements, how can I get that?

  Hi Christian,
  
  You must be using shared topology. If you open your geometry in SpaceClaim, click that "unshare" under Workbench tab.
  
  Please let me know if it works.

  On the Pull tool, the default Option is Merge. You can change the option to No Merge.

  Dear @Wenlong thank you very much for you message. I have used this function, but the solid always connects.. The first picture shows you the front view, everything looks fine here. But the second picture shows, that the base of all objects is together... Unfortunately it should not be like this

  Thanks Mr. peteroznewman, I found the right point in the pull options. Now I have 3 volume elements
