There are several questions and respective answers for how to make a multipart features Layer into a singlepart features one using QGIS:
- How to break a single polygon into multiple polys?<http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/27825/how-to-break-a-single-polygon-into-multiple-polys> - How to split non-contiguous feature in QGIS?<http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/23377/how-to-split-non-contiguous-feature-in-qgis> But all the solutions I saw, creates a entirely new layer and would transform ALL the multipart geometries into single ones. So the questions is, how could one, during an edit session, *selectively* transform a multipart feature into a singlepart feature, without the need to create a new layer? I saw a ticket <http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/3278> for this but it seems to have been misunderstood. It would be the opposite to the "merge selected features" tool, and similar to explode<http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=Merging_and_separating_features> in ArcGIS. Is there any plugin doing this? How could this be done using the python console? Alexandre Neto PS: I have posted the same question<http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/44799/how-to-transform-a-selected-multipart-feature-into-singlepart-features-during-a>in gis.stackexchange.com In case anyone wants to answer there.
