Basically, I made something with Unions and NegativeParts, and would like to find a way to convert it to parts instead of remaking it from scratch with only parts.
Is there a way to do that, and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance!

[Edit: Added Dreg’s post as the solution, but it doesn’t really solve my problem, but I guess it’s the best thing to do and since I don’t like leaving posts unsolved I marked his answer as the solution.]

Am not sure just putting a title really is going to help with this and unions is broken and you can (I think must of the time it’s broken).

Yeah, but is there a way to transform an union into parts? If yes, what is it, apart from remaking the whole thing from scratch?

By the way, i’ve edited the topic.
No you have to make the part and union is broken I don’t think you should use it also add more details into what you want.

Seperate will remove the “holes” in the union and convert the whole thing back to NegativeParts.

As far I know, it’s the only way.
Have you tried adding the parts into one file and using the union? Or look it up on YT.
