Merge

Available in Pro and Premium versions

About #

The Merge tool lets you merge selected models in the scene into a single one.

You can hack the Merge Tool to quickly group models together and the Split tool to separate models later if needed.

Usage constrain #

This operation is only a merging action to create a new single 3D object, combining the selected models together into a new one. No modification is made to their 3D structure or topology.

You can split the model later if you want.

Usage #

The Merge tool is located in the Layout workspace on the left of the viewport.

• Select at least two models, then click on Tools > Merge.
• If a model has a hollowing3D, the user will be asked if they want to delete it or apply the transformation. If applied, the slicer will use the hollowing parameters of the first object selected.
• It will create a new object with a name based on the first model selected with the suffix ”-merged”

Additional information. #

• The supports of each model are preserved.
• If a model has a hollowing3D, the user will be asked if they want to delete it or apply the transformation. If applied, the slicer will use the hollowing parameters of the first object selected.
• The islands are automatically deleted. You will have to search again.
• The raft will be deleted. You will need to reapply it.
• In the preferences, you can change the default choice for the hollowing when you merge models or ask every time for your choice.(screenshot below)
