====== Deconstruct text block ======

----

This function allows you to break up groupings, also called "blocks". This allows you to stamp elements contained within them as individual characteristics.

**Detect blocks**

You can recognize the elements belonging to a block if you activate the **Stamp tool** ({{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_werkzeug_stempeln.png?nolink&15|}}) and move the mouse pointer over the drawing entry. The block is highlighted.

> **Note** Conversely, you can use the **Stamp Group** function to group ungrouped elements together when stamping.
>  **See** Functions > Characteristics > [[en:infra-convert:user:functions:ballooning_group|Automatic stamping (Grouped)]]

==== Workflow ====

|< 100% 5% 15% 40% 40%>|
^  Step  ^^  Action  ^  Result  ^
^  1  ^ Deconstruct block | Right-click the drawing entry and select **Explode** from the context menu.\\ {{ :en:infra-convert:user:functions:gruppierung_zerlegen.png?nolink&400 |}}\\ \\ **Note** Deconstruction can be performed in any tool mode. However, the **Stamp tool** is suitable for immediately evaluating the result of the deconstruction. | The block is deconstructed.\\ {{ :en:infra-convert:user:functions:gruppierung_zerlegt.png?nolink&400 |}} |
^  [2]  ^ [Optional]\\ Continue deconstruction | Blocks can be nested arbitrarily. Each execution of the function deconstructs the top-level block. Repeat step 1 until the result is satisfactory or the elements cannot be deconstructed further.\\ \\ **Note** There are cases where a block on the next level contains only one other block. If the top block is deconstructed, it looks as if nothing has been deconstructed. We recommend to execute the explode function several times to exclude this case. ||

==== Customization ====

There are no setting options for directly influencing this function.
