[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!

TIG The Terminatorizer!

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...

Sure!
