    * Download         3DBurst is an ARX application which allows the user to quickly
    * Order            create exploded views of 3D models. This command is
                       especially useful in Mechanical design to visualize
                       an engine's inside or in architectural design to
                       separate a building into floors.

                       After loading burst.arx file, you can run the
                       3DBURST command :

                       Command : 3DBURST
                       Select objects :
                       Plan / Axis / Center <Center> : P
                       First point of plan :
                       Second point of plan :
                       Third point of plan :
                       Burst factor (0 - 10) <2> : 1.5

                       Two options are required by this command :

                          * The reference element which can be a plan, an
                            axis or a center point. Each selected object
                            is moved along a vector so that the distance
                            from its center of mass to the reference point
                            (axis, or plan) is multiplied by the burst
                            factor. All the objects which lay on the
                            reference element are not modified by the
                            command. The axis (resp. plan) can be either
                            defined by two (resp. three) points or match
                            one of the coordinate axes (resp. plans).

                          * The burst factor which indicates the
                            displacement value. The command has no effect
                            if this factor equals 1. Otherwise, the
                            objects are moved towards the reference
                            element if the value is between 0 and 1 and
                            away from for a value greater than 1. For
                            instance, a value of 2 makes the object 2
                            times farther from the point (axis or plan).
