To Specify the Type of Space Decomposition

In the decomposition view of the space style, you specify the type of subentities into which the space will be decomposed (trapezoid or triangulated) and the AutoCAD entities the decomposed space is converted to when exploded (lines or closed polyline faces).

9. Under Explode Result, select an option:
