So, I'm trying to explode a symbol that's from Spotlight library. My idea is to get the swiwel coupler part so I can build new symbols. How can I explode the symbol so I can use only that part from this:
If I take an Sketchup object and start editing it I get this dialogue:
And I can work with what I want. But when I try to do the same with the symbol I try work with it shows like this:
Are these library symbols locked in a way that I cannot cut 'em or get the actual parts out which I want? I'm currently working a lot with scaffolding structures (since there's no events, our company has switched to these) and the available library doesn't include the special parts I'd need. I'm coming from AutoCAD background and our company is switching to Vectorworks currently.
