Hi All,
Am I being daft here? Probably!
I just need to take an object and make a new object from every polygon on the first. ie I have a cube, I want six separate objects, 1 poly each.

Sorry if this is dull!

Thanks

Chris

Select all polys, Modify > Poly Mesh > Disconnect Components, and check Explode.

OK, I haven't seen that there before! But, I still don't get my separate objects?

Awww darn I was going to point you to a script on my site that does the same thing...

Don't you love it when you write something and it turns out there was already a solution? :P

Well a script was required for part of this solution.
