Unite Mesh : Options and Results

At least one of the selected objects must be a mesh; the united object is also a mesh.

Required Step 1

Pick the objects to be united, and if necessary, indicate the outside direction (a direction arrow is displayed). If one of the selected objects is an open object, the direction arrow is displayed.

At least one of the selected objects must be a mesh; the united object is also a mesh.

Merge	Merge the selected objects using boolean operations. This is the default option.

Glue	Unite the selected objects when they are almost coincident with each other (where there are small gaps between the objects). When the Glue option is selected, the Tolerance parameter is displayed: Set the required Tolerance. Default = 0.1 mm (0.005 inch) Min. = 0, Max. = 5 mm. Example:Example: The examples below show two mesh objects coincident with each other, within the defined Tolerance. Two mesh objects: Select both objects and press OK in the Feature Guide.
