In beam drawings, the beams are arranged as blocks with rebars and dimension lines. Especially since the moving work can be done a lot, the blocks facilitate the moving process. You can split the blocks into sub-blocks with the explode. In the sub-blocks, again, the object can be divided into lines and writings with explode.
