[REQ]Explode Groups/Components selected

[pilou]

Wanted explode on all levels Groups & Components selected

Exist a total explosion of all groups components (selected or not) of the Model by Rick Wilson at Smustard
Too powerfull

Exist Exloder at the Ruby Depot but seems don't work!

So...

[TIG]

This code Explodes all Selected Groups/Instances [including all nested Groups/Instances inside these, down through all levels of nesting...]
Usage: in the Ruby Console type TIG.exploderizer + <enter>
Paste the code into a file called "TIG-exploderizer.rb" in the Plugins folder and restart Sketchup.

require 'sketchup.rb'
module TIG
    def TIG.exploderizer()
        model=Sketchup.active_model
        ss=model.selection
        return nil unless ss[0]
        toex=ss.to_a.find_all{|e|e.class==Sketchup;;Group or e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance}
        more=true
        done=[]
        while more
          len=toex.length
          toex.clone.each{|e|
            next if done.include?(e)
            tarr=[]
            tarr=e.entities.to_a if e.class==Sketchup;;Group
            tarr=e.definition.entities.to_a if e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
            tarr.each{|ee|
              toex << ee if ee.class==Sketchup;;Group or ee.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
            }
            done << e
            done.uniq!
          }
          toex.uniq!
          more=false if toex.length==len
        end
        model.start_operation("TIG.exploderizer")
          toex.uniq.reverse.each{|e|e.explode if e.valid?}
          puts "Exploded #{toex.length} Groups/Instances."
        model.commit_operation
    end
end

Note: it will Explode any inner Groups/Instances inside a Component Definition even if it is outside of the Selection, if there is an Instance of it in the Selection.
EDIT: fixed glitch with component entities...

Bravo!
Works like a charm!

Isn't
tarr=e.entities.to_a if e.class==Sketchup::Group or e.class==Sketchup::ComponentInstance
only true for groups? Wouldn't it need to be e.definition.entities for components?

[TIG]

You are right - I rattled it off too quickly !
Well spotted...
I've adjusted the original code to suit...
Pilou... please re-copy/paste...

[pilou]

Sure!
Terminatorizer the Return!
