Daniel: /* Merging meshes */
2015-10-06T18:49:48Z
<p><span class="autocomment">Merging meshes</span></p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Menu / Icon ==<br />
<br />
This tool is accessible via the 'Edit > Merge' menu, or via the [[Image:CcMerge.png]] icon in the upper main toolbar.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
<br />
Merges two or more entities. You can currently merge clouds or meshes.<br />
<br />
== Merging clouds ==<br />
<br />
'''Warning''': when merging clouds, the original clouds will be deleted (''you may have to save or clone them first'').<br />
<br />
== Merging meshes ==<br />
<br />
When merging meshes, the original meshes are not modified/deleted. CC will create a new composite mesh structure. Sub-meshes are also created for each input mesh so that the original structure is preserved (''useful when saving the result as an OBJ file'').<br />
<br />
[[Image:Cc_mesh_merge.jpg|frame|center|Merging meshes (input: 'Knee joint' group - output: 'Merged mesh' entity)]]<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
* all triangles are copied but not actually ''merged'' topologically speaking (i.e. they won't share the same vertices). Refer to the [[PluginCork | qCork]] plugin (Boolean Operations on Mesh) to do this<br />
* since version 2.6.2 this operation preserves the grid structures associated to structured point clouds (the resulting cloud will simply have multiple associated grids)</div>
