The explode command is used to un-join two or more joined objects into their individual parts. Explode can be used on curves, polysurface, and meshes.

Explode Curves

• Draw two open curves which touch but do not intersect.

Copy of Drawing Curves

• Select both curves and type join to make two curves into 1 curve. This can also be done for multiple curves touching each other.

• Select the joined curve and type explode to un-join the curve into its initial parts.
