Creates real geometry in place of instanced objects.

Alias lets you use placeholder objects that are linked to an original object. This lets you have many transformed copies of an original without using up memory and disk space to store real geometry.

This menu item transformed instanced objects into real geometry that is no longer linked to the original.

To use it, pick the instance or instances and choose Edit > Expand Instances.
