If you're splitting or merging sub tools with subdivision levels, you have to be careful or it will destroy the subdivisions and lock in the current subdivision level. So let me demonstrate.

And then in these other sub tools, we have all these teeth that are on their own sub tools. So first, let's try to split the eye into its own sub tool. If we go under geometry, you can see that this model has four subdivision…
