			    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.  I'm not very good with Milkshape, so not
a clue if there's already a proper way to do this, but if not, here it is.

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.
