Drop Complex Status

Used to break up a complex element (cell, complex chain, complex shape, text node, surface, or solid) into its components. The components can then be manipulated individually.

You can access this tool from the following:

Ribbon: Drawing > Home > Groups > Drop split button
Ribbon: Modeling > Home > Groups > Drop split button
Toolbox: Drop

Key-in: DROP COMPLEX

Note: The Drop Complex Status tool cannot be used to disassociate a B-spline curve from its control polygon.

Tip: To quickly break up many complex elements, place a fence and use the Drop Complex Status of Fence Contents tool.
