When all surfaces or a single body of a solid or quilt are selected, the surfaces are exploded so that each is a separate body. For example, a solid box becomes six surfaces in the browser.
If a single face or a portion of a solid or quilt is selected, all selected faces are combined into a new quilt provided they are adjacent to each another. If they are not adjacent, individual surfaces are created.
