De-instantiate Instance
Create > De-instantiate Instance
 

Description:

    The De-instantiate Instance (Create > De-instantiate Instance) command allows you to create a fully editable copy of an instance. An instance of an object is a copy of the object that updates automatically with every edit made to its parent object, but is not editable in vertex, edge, or face modes itself.  A de-instantiated copy of an instance is editable in all modes, and will not be deleted when the former instance's parent object is deleted.


Notes:

- See also the Create Instance command to learn about instances.

- This is the same as using the copy and paste commands on the object the instance is referencing.

- De-instantiate Instance only works in object selection mode with one or more instances selected.
