PRO: Can be the quickest way to made a copy of a block definitionĬON: You need to make sure you select the correct rotation, scale, and insertion point of the modified geometry otherwise it will negatively adjust existing blocks It was, for a long time, the only way of modifying blocks. Exploding the block back to its original entities and then redefining the block once the desired changes has been made is the first method of modifying blocks. Think of this as the wily old veteran who’s been on the team forever, maybe has lost a step, isn’t as fancy as the new boys on the team, but when it comes down to crunch time knows how to get the job done.
