  I have come across a problem I cannot find a fix for.  I have created a bunch of special designs for model railway items, Several needed to be splitinto 2 or more parts to be printed on my 150 sq mm bed.

  I exported these as STL, and after test printing, wanted to make changes, BUT I cannot split th eobjects. Exporting them seems to have grouped the all together, and I can find NO WAY to break em apart again - HELP !!!!!!!

   

  To go thru a redesign of all of these will be a nightmare........

  Were the originals modeled in Tinkercad? The original design files have the original object groupings that can be ungrouped for further modification.

  If you export STL, then import, the original groupes are lost.

  I think I have found a way around it, by going via the "Personal folder" each time, rather than clearing and importing a different object into my current working area.

  It seems to be working so far, so fingers crossed, it will keep doing so.

  Thanks for your feedback
