Import the model in Hexagon and select the polygons of one of the parts and click on the Extract Tool to un-weld it from the lump. Then select the lump again and choose some more polygons to un-weld using the Extract Tool again on the lump. Eventually, you'll have all the parts seperate again. You may have to turn on transparent viewing so that you can select polygons that may be hidden inside the imported object.
