+ Milkshape Group Exploder
+ ------------------------
+
+This tool simply allows you to explode a group so that all the triangles in
+it are now in a group of their own.
+
+To use select 'Group Exploder' from the 'Tools' menu. When activated a dialog
+is displayed with the following items:
+
+
+Select Group to explode
+
+ Simply select the group name to explode.
+
+
+Remove original mesh
+
+ If this is selected then the original group is removed.
+
+
+Collate triangles with identical normals
+
+ If this is selected then traingles where the vertex normals all match
+ (ie. they are on the same plane) are grouped together into a group.
+
+ For instance, if exploding a cube then you end up with 6 new groups,
+ each containing two triangles that make up one face of the cube.
+
+
+When OK is selected the group is exploded and new groups created. These new
+groups will be assigned the same material as the original group.
