Yes, the same as macro, but the function doesn't appear in the context menu.
You have to load it by the menu "Modify" in the modul "Macro".

the same for explode macro

Ik still cannot figure it out. Smartparts do not act like 'architecture to 3d solids' if you try it using 'convert elements'. Where can this macro / explode function be found... ?

Well... Did you read my answer?
It's not by using "Convert elements".
It's by menu "Modify" in the modul "Macro".


And where can i find this module 'macro'???? (allplan starter simple question.
I figured out that 'unlink smart symbols' does what i would like. Check sample file.

Probably the hyrarchie is something like..:

- 3D solid
- (smart)symbols
- smart parts

?
Thanks in regard for any comment or ideas

The modul "Macro" (smart symbol) is in the bonus tools (see attached picture).
"Unlink smart symbol" is the right function you need.
When you use "Unlink smart symbol", select "Fully" to explode the SmartPart (see attached picture 2).

There is no hierarchy between SmartPart and smart symbol. They are different elements in Allplan (using different technology).
