Beware. Bomb.rb can be undone via Edit>Undo but if you make any modifications to geometry after running it, those modifications will need to be undone before you can undo the bomb action. If you explode a component so you can edit it, you lose the power of editing all the like components in the model because the exploded one is no longer related to the rest. It is just a lump of geometry.
A better way to edit components is to open them for editing either by right clicking on the desired component or double clicking with the Select tool. Then perform the editing operation. If there are other instances of the component in the model, they will get the same editing which wouldn't happen if they are all exploded into loose geometry. And there's no risk of modifying unrelated components because they can't be changed while another component is open for editing.
I know what you mean about bartering. It's easy to get the short end of the stick. Good luck.
