      Does anyone know of a Ruby script that explodes all groups and subgroups but leaves all components intact.

      Thanks,
      TeamSDA

        Try this. It should explode all the groups in your model and will go up to 5 levels deep.

        Couple of warnings attached: it will probably be quite slow on even a moderately complex model and i've hardly tested it so you may well find bugs.

        usage: Save your model first, open the ruby console and type RTK.bombgroup


        bomb groups.rb

          This is similar to Remus's but it explodes ALL groups to any level inside components or other groups... Components are not affected. Use after saving a copy of the Model - use with care and after careful consideration !

              Thank you very much, πŸ˜„
              This will help us tremendously as we try to clean up our files before we send them to another program to render.

              Thanks again,

                Since when do you write Rubies Remus?

                Haha... It's been actually months now. Soon you will realise that Remus rules the place!

                    Does anyone have/know a way of exploding groups inside a load of components.
                    Trying to file link in 3ds max and am having an awful time!

                      TIGs script should do that.

                        Oops, strike that last request, i see tig's plugin does exactly that.
                        Now, if this could be written into the dwg exporter then life would be really peachy

                            My oldie in the PluginStore is v2015 compatible ?
                            Why do you think it doesn't work ??
                            It explodes all groups in the model, but leaves components/images alone...
