Reseparating previously-merged 3D objects in a 3D model

If you have merged a number of 3D objects in a 3D model into a single object, you can reseparate the merged object into the original objects, removing the merge from the original objects.

To reseparate a previously-merged 3D object in a 3D model:

Right-click the 3D object that resulted from the merging of one or more smaller objects in the IFC Model pane and select Split/Merge Products - Remove Product Merge from the menu that appears. The previously-merged 3D object is reseparated into the original unmerged objects.

If the previously-merged object was included in one or more IFC product searches, the resulting unmerged objects are included in the IFC product searches automatically. However, if the previously-merged 3D object was included in one or more IFC product selections, the resulting unmerged objects are not included in the IFC product selections automatically, and the Update IFC Product Selections dialog appears, listing the IFC product selections in which the previously-merged object was included.
To update an IFC product selection so that it includes the resulting unmerged 3D objects rather than the previously-merged object, select the check box to the left of the IFC product selection and click Update. Updating IFC product selections in this way means that any tasks that were associated with the previously-merged 3D object via an IFC product selection will be associated with all of the resulting unmerged objects. If you choose not to update any IFC product selections, you will need to associate the unmerged 3D objects with tasks manually.
