Description

This tool upgrades selected objects in different ways. If no object is selected, you will be invited to select one.

How to use

  1. Select one or more objects you wish to upgrade
  2. Press the Draft Upgrade button or press U then P keys

Options

The selected objects are modified/upgraded according to the following conditions (in order):

  • if there are more than one face in the selection, the faces are merged (union)
  • if there is only one face in the selection, nothing is done
  • if there is only one open wire in the selection, it gets closed
  • if there are only edges in the selection, all edges are joined into a wire (closed if possible)
  • if none of the above is possible, a compound object is created

Scripting

Not available, but you can easily reproduce the separate operations of the Upgrade tool. See the Part Fuse or Draft Wire pages.
