Part of the mesh selecting and shelling into new object

[chriskal]

Hi, 
I'm trying to find sulution in Maya 2015 similar as Zbrush extract to thick shell function when part of the mesh is masked.

The idea is to select some faces and give them thickness after they become new object.
They also need to be visible as separate object in Outliner.

If of you gurus knows some script or technique it will be crucial for work that I'm working on.

Thanks

Chris
