Hello,

Can someone please help me with this.

I have a large text object with lots of letters. I need to be able to select this object's elements and then detach them all into their own individual objects.

I do not want to go in and have to detach each individual element one by one into an object.

Thanks

Really no scripting needed. Convert to Edit Mesh. Select all faces > Explode: 180.0, Objects.

I also made a script a few weeks ago that will do this:

I wrote a load of text layout scripts for a project last year. If you want each letter to remain as an editable TextShape (but laid out nicely) this will get you started.
