- Explodes a segment/whole multi-layer wall or arc into lines.

- 1. * (IND) mwall to explode
- 2. * (IND) confirm choice
- 3. * (Y/N) option: y-segment of mwall, n-whole mwall <y>
- if reply is `y':
- 4. (Y/N) segment ends: y-right angular, n-free <y>
- if reply is `y':
- 5. (POINT) first point of segment
- 6. (POINT) end point of segment (<ENTER> for a NEW first pt.)
- 7. (Y/N) close wall ends ? <y>
- if reply is `n' to prompt 4:
- 5. (POINT) first point of start segment line
- 6. (POINT) second point of start segment line (<ENTER> for a NEW
- first pt.)
- 7. (POINT) first point of end segment line (<ENTER> for a NEW second
- pt.)
- 8. (POINT) second point of end segment line (<ENTER> for a NEW first
- pt.)
- 9. (Y/N) close wall ends ? <y>

- Description:
- This command "explodes" a segment or a whole multi-layer wall or arc into
- lines. Indicate and confirm the wall to be exploded and state whether the
- whole wall or only a segment of it is to be converted.
- If only part is to be converted, state whether the ends of the segment are to
- be perpendicular to the wall or free.
- If the conversion is to be perpendicular to the wall, specify two points to
- define the ends of the segment, otherwise specify four points (in order to
- define two lines) if the segment is to be free.
- In the case of arcs, a right angular trim is a "radial" trim, i.e., along
- an imaginary line connecting the indicated point to center of the arc.
- State whether the ends of the wall are to be closed. You are prompted to
- indicate another wall to explode until you enter another command.
- NOTE: The converted wall loses the properties of a multi-layer wall.
- NOTE: If the wall to explode contains openings or T-junctions, the exploded
- wall will "overwrite" the parts containing openings or T-junctions.
