I am trying to flatten a surface and i am using smash command since it is double curved. However after using the smash command and having selected yes to explode option, the resulting surface is one polysurface and not 2 separate surfaces. I tried to use explode to separate them but after performing the operation the surfaces are still joined together and cannot move them independently to each other so i can for example nest them in a sheet
smash surface.3dm (761.9 KB)
. Why is this happening? I have attached the rhino file.
Hi -
That’s because the result is grouped. When you ungroup, you will be able to move those independently.
