Explode object like poliline.

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:47:07 GMT

Hi! I just bought archicad 14 gr version. I have a problem with exploding a specific object. I insert coordinates from txt file and appears a surface with all the points connected with lines. I want to erase some of these line as they are not needed and give a wrong plan. How can i explode this surface or these lines in order to delete some of them???
Otherwise if anyone knows a way of inserting automatically just points by inserting text with coordinates would be helpfull.
Thank you.

argiro_ce:

If you are trying to transform a library part (object, door, etc) into lines and fills, there is a command for that: Explode into Current View. If you are using the Standard Profile 14 Work Environment, then the command is under Edit > Reshape. The placed instance of the library part will be transformed into lines and fills that can be edited as any 2D element, but will have no connection to the 3D model, and cease to be a library part.

For more information with images, go to Help > ArchiCAD Help, when your browser opens click on the "Search" tab, and input "Explode into Current View" in the search box, in the results list "Explode into Current View" will lead to detailed information.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Re: Explode object like poliline. - BUG in AC15-3602?

I don't know if this a new issue, but when I try to apply the Explode into Current view command on a polyline in AC 15 SWE 3602 full, OSX10.6.8, it doesn't work. (It works on Fills for example).

Could someone please confirm? Thanks!

Thomas:

It works if the Polyline includes a curved segment, but not if the Polyline is composed of only straight segments. Seems like a bug.

Yes. It is a bug. The only way for now is: edit/reshape/linework consolidation.
Bit tedious though.

Hi All,

yes, that's a known issue.
This article describes the workaround, too: http://www.archicadwiki.com/Bugs/CannotExplodePolyline
