To split an object into an assembly of component parts:

1. Ifȱtheȱobjectȱisȱnotȱdisplayed,ȱplaceȱitȱonȱtheȱbuildȱtrayȱbyȱinsertingȱitsȱstlȱ

fileȱ(seeȱ“PlacingȱObjectsȱonȱtheȱBuildȱTray”ȱonȱpage 10).

Theȱobjectȱappears—onȱtheȱbuildȱtrayȱandȱinȱtheȱmodelȱtreeȱpane—asȱaȱ
singleȱpart.ȱItȱisȱassigned,ȱbyȱdefault,ȱtheȱ“primary”ȱmodelȱmaterial.ȱ(Ifȱ
ObjetȱStudioȱisȱconfiguredȱwithȱaȱsecondaryȱmaterial,ȱyouȱcanȱassignȱ
it—orȱaȱdigitalȱmaterial—toȱtheȱentireȱobject.ȱThisȱisȱexplainedȱinȱ
“ModelȬMaterialȱSettings”ȱonȱpage 20.)
