objects end up flying everywhere when I unlink them?

[Rich O]

So I've imported a dwg from Revit and when I go to move certain bits of geometry, they pull others (instances of some sort) with them. Tried unlinking them, however that just messes everything up and sends the instances flying all over the scene basically.

 

It's a bit hard to explain in words so I've exported some of the offending objects and attached a small scene to demonstrate crazy geometry test.zip

 

Tried, unlinking, tried reset xform, nothing works. Any help would be great!

Save, please, in some earlier version, for testing puropse.

max 2012 file format would be excellent, if you have capbilities, or at least max 2014.

You've done this in max 2015, right?

run this script

 

(

for o in objects do (

o.controller=prs()

if classof o.parent == LinkComposite do o.parent = undefined

)

for o in objects where classof o == LinkComposite do delete o

)

run this script

 

(

for o in objects do (

o.controller=prs()

if classof o.parent == LinkComposite do o.parent = undefined

)

for o in objects where classof o == LinkComposite do delete o

)

 

that doesn't seem to do anything, only gives me an error. Is the syntax correct?

ctrl+a, select all and then run the script, I think you might be running only one line at a time rather than the whole script
