How to remove instance from objects?

[Anonymous]

I've imported my Revit file in 3ds and when I move my selected windows and walls to another level, the unselected windows are moving too. I guess this is an "instance" thing. Is there any was to remove this and make the objects standalone in the scene, so I can move only the selected ones?

Take a "Snapshot" of the objects you don't want to move...make sure you pick COPY...delete the originals...they will stay selected so after completing the Snapshot just hit the delete key.

Select them, right-click in the Stack (on the bold line) > Make Unique ?

Blame Skyrim. And shopping... 😄

Instancing won't cause separate geometric objects to move together. That would be grouping or hierarchy that causes this effect. Could you post a video of exactly what is happening?

Unless he means moving them between Layers. Does Revit group and/or link objects which are instances? I've never used it so I don't know.

Don't worry...whatever he was trying to explain, we fixed it...never mind the proper terminology that you cling to.
