Description
The Mesh Union command creates a non-parametric mesh object, a Mesh Feature, that is the union (fusion) of two selected mesh objects.
OpenSCAD must be installed to use this command, and the path to its executable must be set in the OpenSCAD preferences.
On the left two separate mesh objects, on the right the mesh object that is the union of those objects
Usage
- Select two mesh objects.
- Select the Meshes → Boolean → Union option from the menu.
