They are effectively the same thing,
Making an “object editable” is normally used when referring to primitive objects, and you’ll more likely hear “current state to object” when using mograph tools and cloners.
Ultimately it shouldn’t make a difference which one you use 🙂

I think you’d be surprised, Element 3D will actually take native .c4d projects as model files…
But “Emir Bojorquez” is correct, you will need to conform your sculpted object into a standard object so that the sculpture tag is gone first, regardless of the format you export as.

Happy to help.

This one stumped me for a moment, but I think what you need to do before putting it in the Voronoi fracture is use the boole tool to merge all the objects together properly.
Using the boole tool with the connect tool, you can merge all your objects into a fused object – “Boolean Type – A Union B”
If you then make the boole editable
Then select the new group including everything a child within that group and “connect objects and delete”
Lastly, you’ll need to select your new single object in point mode and “optimize” the mesh
This is now you’re fused object. When you throw that in Voronoi fracture it will actually brake the model like a broken chocolate bar as the nuts are part of the model rather than “grouped” with the object.
I hope that makes sense?

Hmm, that’s strange I copied your project and it works on mine, are you using r19?
If you are I’ve attached a copy of my project file for you to look at.
Hope this is useful

If you right-click on your helix with the spline wrap effector applied.
Select ‘Current State to Object’ and a New spline will appear with that deformation locked in.
You can then drop that new spline into the aline to spline tool and the ball should move along the desired path. -
That’s Awesome! Thank you. I’ll have to remember the correction deformer next time.
