I think it tells you to delete the history befre you do the shatter.

If you open the script editor it should give you more info on it

Gster.., to the rescue AGAIN user added image

take care

oh, the shatter thing, tried it last week, I didn't get any message.., maybe you don't realise it makes a duplicate?? if here was one sphere before the operation, there's two there now.

take it easy and life will be easy

Cheers Mirek, good to see ya back!

Yeah it makes a duplicate, I think that you can switch it off but your best off having it there as its great for keyframing the visability so that the full one goes invisible as the shatter one's dynamics take over.
