'Exploding' or 'Ungrouping' GDL objects

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am trying to work with some standard building elements like a standard bathroom group that I am using repeatedly in different projects. Having worked out all of the design I want to save it and insert it into other projects.

What I have done is save a standard design as a library object and then insert it into another plan. However I now I need to make minor modifications to it. When I explode the object though it now becomes a mess of 'dumb' lines and no longer the assembly of objects that it once was (toilets, composite walls, fixtures, etc.)

Obviously I must be making a fundamental and basic flaw here. Any help?

Investigate modules. They are saved grouping of elements more suited to your needs.

Thank you very much. Modules was exactly the tool I should have been using.
