The '''Mesh Merge''' command creates a new non-parametric mesh object, a [[Mesh_Feature|Mesh Feature]], by combining the meshes of two or more mesh objects. The command does not perform a Boolean union, the new object will contain separate mesh components. For a Boolean union use the [[Mesh_Union|Mesh Union]] command instead.

Description

The Mesh Merge command creates a new non-parametric mesh object, a Mesh Feature, by combining the meshes of two or more mesh objects. The command does not perform a Boolean union, the new object will contain separate mesh components. For a Boolean union use the Mesh Union command instead. This command is the counterpart of the Mesh SplitComponents command.

Usage

  1. Select two or more mesh objects.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Merge button.
    • Select the Meshes → Merge option from the menu.

Properties

See: Mesh Feature.
