ChiefUserJack52 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi, Anyone figured out how to explode library blocks without the explode button? I want to do the railing just like the headboard in the bed in the driveway. I tricked the mattress by calling it insulation air gap. I grabbed the railing in use from sketch up but I don't care for it. Additionally, any other libraries out there like sketch up warehouse (free) that anyone is using? Thank you! says Jack, but I'm Jen Boeve (I work for him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If I'm interpreting your question correctly you are asking about editing a symbol versus an architectural block. Symbols can be edited using the delete surfaces tool to remove surfaces or by adding additional surfaces or objects and then converting this to a new symbol. This should be done in a blank plan as when you convert something to a symbol CA will include all surfaces in the plan as belonging to the new symbol. All objects brought in from say 3D Warehouse will be treated by CA as a Symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefUserJack52 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you - I did end up exploding in Sketchup, editing then importing into Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
