Explode Everything?

Rich O Brien

Is there a plugin that explodes all geometry including Arcs, Curves and Polylines in one go?

Chris Fullmer

Bomb comes close, but I don't know about arcs and such. Who wrote that, TIG? It could probably be easily modified.

TIG

Try this...

module TIG
def self.exploderizer()
  ss=Sketchup.active_model.selection
  self.exploder(ss.to_a)
  ss.clear
end
def self.exploder(ents)
  ents.each{|e|
    if e.class==Sketchup;;Group
      self.exploder(e.entities.to_a)
    elsif e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
      e.make_unique if e.definition.instances[1]
      self.exploder(e.definition.entities.to_a)
    end
    e.explode if e.respond_to?(;explode)
    e.explode_curve if e.respond_to?(;explode_curve) and e.curve
  }
end
end

Usage: TIG.exploderizer.new
to explode all selected groups/instances/images/curves etc

I don't want to explode groups components just geometry when I'm inside.

Chris Fullmer

Ahh. I do it in shapebender, but that's probably a long way around a simple problem.

TIG

Easier

module TIG
def self.geometryexploderizer()
  Sketchup.active_model.selection.to_a.each{|e|e.explode_curve if e.respond_to?(;explode_curve) and e.curve}
end
end

Usage: TIG.geometryexploderizer.new to explode all selected geometry - i.e. 'curves' - ignoring groups/instances/images

You might want to give it a snappier name

Rich O Brien

Kinda....since I'm not bending anything. I'm exporting to an app that doesn't like polylines etc. So at the moment I'm selecting all geometry then using Bombom's Selections Toys to highlight arcs, curves and polylines then 'Explode Curve'.

So you need a 'nuke_all.rb'

Rich O Brien

Good name

I'll try it myself with TIG's posted code
