Hello All!

 

How can one separate combined bodies? Or does something like explode exist in fusion 360? Appreciate any response.

I cous think of several things, however it depends what your aplication is whether that actually makes any sense.
Care to share more details, perhaps a screenshot or a screencast ?

Here are screenshots! This is a chair which I created in Fusion 360 to insert in a revit project. Now to apply materials you need to save the files differently and import them into a family in revit so they are recognised as separate elements with the possibility of applying material to each element. If you export them together revit imports it as a block and tags all elements with one material. I was able to export the chair's seat and the wheels separate .sat files (the red), but the rest is one combined body but different materials for the parts . Now how do I dissassembly these combined parts to enable me to export them separately?

If you go to the patch workspace you can unstitch all the surfaces. Then make components for each part, drag the surfaces into the correct components, then hide all but the component you're working on then stitch and patch back in to solids.

 

Another option might be Boundary Fill, draw planes at the intersection points and use them to split the body up.

Here's a screencast to demonstrate the workflow with boundary fill.
