Explode a Smart Model

Sub Projects

If necessary, you can explode a smart model in the main model. The building components remain in the main model, but the program removes the link from them to the smart model building. Changes made to the smart model are no longer updated to the exploded building components in the main model. The building of the smart model remains unchanged in the building archive.

The main model can have other smart models with the same ID, whose link to the smart model building remains unchanged.
