Applying separate on arrays of joined objects

Support Modeling

Hi All,

I made a little molecule with three spheres and two cylinders.
Then I applied 2 arrays modifiers.
Question: How is it possible to separate the molecules without dis-joining their components?
I tried but it gives all the meshes of the scene and not the molecules…

Thanks.

Really can’t understand what you want.

If I understans correctly what you’ve got, it can’t be done, automaticaly. You can either separate§ by loose pieces, then join(ctrl-J) each molecule back together. Or, select each molecule, and separate§ selection. Next time model the molecule into a single mesh before applying the array modifier.
