Convert a symbol to a generic solid

[Santiago Peláez]

I have a problem. I have a lot of 3d symbols and I want to edit only a single one of the 3d symbols.I just forgot it how to convert just a single 3d symbol in a generic solid. I been looking for a solution for a while but I didn't find a solution. Someone can help me? thanks

Select an existing instance, or place an instance of the symbol on the drawing area.

Modify>Convert>Convert to Group.

Result  - The geometry of this instance is removed from the symbol container, and is available for edits.

The symbol definition in Resource Manager is not affected or altered. Other existing instances on the drawing are not affected.

 

Post back if more help needed.

Also, in the Edit Symbol Options (right click the definition in the Resource Manager), the symbol can be changed to insert as a group.
