Are you a SketchUp user who wants to unjoin a group in your project? Don’t worry, it’s a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of unjoining a group in SketchUp. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Select the Group
The first step is to select the group that you want to unjoin. To do this, simply click on the group with the selection tool (the arrow icon) or use the shortcut key “Space” to toggle between selection tools until you reach the arrow icon.
Step 2: Right-click and Choose “Explode”
Once you have selected the group, right-click on it. A context menu will appear. From this menu, choose the option “Explode”.
Note: The “Explode” option is used to break down a group or component into individual entities within SketchUp.
Step 3: Confirm Unjoining
After selecting “Explode”, a confirmation dialog box will pop up asking if you want to explode the selected group. Click on “Yes” to proceed with unjoining the group.
Step 4: Verify Unjoined Group
To verify whether the group has been successfully unjoined, check if individual entities now appear instead of a single grouped object. If so, congratulations! You have successfully unjoined the group in SketchUp.
Tips:
- If you have multiple groups and want to unjoin all of them at once, use the “Selection” tool (shortcut key: Ctrl+A) to select all groups before following steps 2-4.
- If you accidentally unjoin a group and want to revert it, use the “Edit” menu and select “Undo” (shortcut key: Ctrl+Z) immediately after unjoining the group.
Unjoining a group in SketchUp is a straightforward process that allows you to modify individual entities within your project. By following these simple steps, you can easily unjoin groups and have more control over your designs. Happy creating!
