You should also write a signature so everybody knows wich version of archicad you are using. Morphs first time apperared in AC 16.

I was wondering whether there was an easy way of exploding the dome library part so that I can easily manipulate each strut. I have attached a screenshot of the dome.<BR /> <BR /> Any help would be much appreciated.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks in advance.</T></DIV><BR /><IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/15634i11EB1B8945210D4A/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="Screen shot 2013-08-22 at 11.02.05 AM.png" title="Screen shot 2013-08-22 at 11.02.05 AM.png" /> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 01:01:41 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Exploding-model-parts/m-p/187166#M101446 Anonymous 2013-08-22T01:01:41Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Exploding-model-parts/m-p/187167#M101447 You can do this by transforming your gdl object into a morph... is that simple.
