As the title says, the Grasshopper Explode Object fails when a **linked file** contains a clipping view.

A quick test isn’t showing this, but might not be understanding completely.

Sorry it’s happening with a linked file using the Import Model Block Definition component.

Got it, thanks for reporting [RH-82898](https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-82898/Importing-Model-Block-Definition-with-Clipped-View-fails-to-explode-object), it looks to be related to the clipping plane, active or not.

[RH-82898](https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-82898) is fixed in [Rhino 8 Service Release 9](https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino/8/latest)

Thanks Brian. I’m using a dujour build it’ll take a moment until I can test it…

Rhino 8 SR10 2024-6-22 (Rhino 8, 8.10.24174.10001)

Or what would I have to do to overwrite the dujour 8.10… with the current public release?

You need to uninstall and reinstall to get an older build of the latest RC.
