Explosion group

 

 

 

This command creates explosion groups.

The objective here is to displace all the components of the same group in the same operation.

 

Creation stages:

 

Click the icon or select Explosion > Group... from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Provide a name for the group being created

  2. Select the entities to group. By using Entities to ignore, the group will consist of the entire assembly, without the selected entities.

  3. Validate the command.

 

 

  • When an explosion group is being created, the assembly structure is presented in a tree. Items at every level of the tree can be selected, the selection of a node will select all the branches which follow. This allows a rapid selection of the sub-sets.

  • The rotating selection allows you to move up or down the tree from the selected entity. This selection is modifiable via the Assembly to Part and Part to Assembly modes. Part mode allows you to select only parts.

 

 

Available Options:

 

 

The box allow to hide selected entities during the use of the command, to be able to select other entities more easily, especially those who were behind.

 

Modifications:

 

In the entities tree, an Explosion groups folder contains all the created groups.

Simply edit one of these groups to modify its content (add or remove items).
