Remove object linkage on objects imported from revit

[adamantine]

Hello all,

 

This question may have been asked before but I tried searching and couldn't find an answer, maybe I have the incorrect terms for this problem.

 

So I'm working in 3ds max and imported a model from Revit through DWG. Sometimes I would like to move or copy some objects, for example, a window. When I select and move one window, all the other windows in the scene are moving as well. I kind of figured out that they are somehow linked, however, when I remove the link (using "unlink selection"), all the other window object jumped location to somewhere else except the one I selected. That leaves me with only moving the individual object by turning on "Affect Object Only". That works for moving, but not with rotating/scaling.

 

Also there seems to be some hidden objects that when deleted, also delete an entire type of objects. For example if I select an area with marquee, it might capture a hidden object, and when I delete it, for example all curtain walls in the scene are gone.

 

Any idea on how to remove this linkage information so I can work freely with objects imported from revit?

 

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help.

Here is a script that might work, I think I got it from script spot (cant remeamber)

 

I removes the block header from object imported from Revit and Acad.
