Options
The selected objects are modified/downgraded, according to the following conditions (in order):
 * if only one object is selected and it contains more than one face, each face becomes a separate object
 * if there are more than one face in the selection, the subsequent objects are subtracted from the first one
 * if there is only one face in the selection, it gets converted into a wire
 * otherwise all wires found in the selection are exploded into single edges

Scripting
The Downgrade tool can be used in python scripts and macros by using the following function:


 * Downgrades the given object(s) (can be an object or a list of objects).
 * If delete is True, old objects are deleted.
 * The force attribute can be used to force a certain way of downgrading. It can be: explode, shapify, subtr, splitFaces, cut2, getWire, splitWires.
