I joined my object but now I can't explode them

Hi Everyone,

After many hours I finally finished creating my object. Silly me, for ease of moving I decided to join everything together instead of grouping… I saved my file and closed it. But now when I open it and try exploding it to make edits, it says “Cannot explode 45 single curve segments, Cannot explode 166 single surfaces”

Any idea on what I can do to break it apart into its original pieces? That was many hours of work :S

Its the trawl drum that I want exploded, not the other two assemblies.

Please and thank you!

That means those curves and surfaces weren’t Joined in the first place to explode. It’s fine.

Hi Igor - if your curves were grouped, then joined, the result is still in the group and so will the result of re-exploding be in the group.
