Exploding Object

Bewdy · September 5th, 2008

Hi sorry, no not a question about how to make an actual exploding object, it's not as interesting as that I'm afraid.

How to explode an object's individual polys in max (same as an exploded object in AutoCAD) so that a single box could create say the individual parts. Any automated way to do this?

Cheers

being a non max user these days i cant remember, but a quick solution is to import it into autocad, explode it in there, then export as a DXF. this should export every face as an individual object.

Thanks Strat, had considered that, but it felt like a bit of a long winded approach.

Any other suggestions

BTW, mods can someone move this post, I've accidentally put it in the wrong thread. Cheers
