Ungroup STL files

Modulo123 — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 12:13:37 GMT

I want to open objects in STL format in Archicad, but they are always grouped. I'm exporting from Inventor and I don't have any option to ungroup. Does Archicad allow me to ungroup these stl models? Thank you.

if you convert the file to an object , you can change the textures included in the object , I redomend you export from inventor in a diferent format than STL , because STL do not acept multi textures , its a geometry format only

or you can select faces to change texture , give click in the object and select faces with "Ctrl-Shift left Click mouse" , then left click in selected poligon and choose icon "custom face settings"
