Welding ???

Thanks gentlemen worked like a champ…

Been a few years for me – glad to see some old faces still around…

I might have to upgrade – as I’m still on 6.X…

As always appreciate the help…

All,

I have two shapes – one an extruded cylinder – the other – a modified cube… I am in the Point/Face select mode… How do I select two points to weld together ??? It seems to allow me to only select one ??? I’ve tried the usual ‘ALT, CTRL, and SHIFT’ keys when clicking… Still only one point remains selected at a time…

I want the cylinder point to remain stationary – and – I want the selected cube point to move and bond with my cylinder point… Will the ‘weld’ function do this for me ???

Thanks,
Scott

You can’t weld together points from different objects.
The only way to do this would be to Merge the two objects together…then you have one object and can weld points together.

1) Select the cylinder.
2) In the righthand toolbar click Object Merge.
3) Click on the cube.

You now have one object.

With 3DC 8.0.0.x, select the points from different objects, choose in the shape operations ‘weld selection’ or ‘Weld selected points to first selected point’ (best option to leave your cylinder point unchanged).

No need to merge the 2 objects. After the weld operation, you still have 2 objects.
