Could this be expanded to include 3DShells in the future? Shown here:

What about TBC just added import shells and an explode option. Seem like the more logical thing to do.

Will be out soon if not already released - we have a pending update - v1.03 of Explode Solids Command (not the Explode IFC Shell command) - this is a licensed command whereas the IFC Shell is a command we support for Trimble that is unlicensed - 1.02 is out though and it does this also I believe

There is a command called Explode IFC Shell - that is on the command list accessed from the command pane - that is the original command and is unlicensed - our version Explode Solids is licensed.

Type Explode or IFC at the command line to find the original command.

This command - RPS Explode Solids is licensed and is on our menus (RPS Menus). The UI of this command looks as follows

This command - Explode IFC Shell is unlicensed and can be found in the Command Pane as _ExplodeIFCShell. The user interface of the unlicensed command looks as follows.
