Merging two or more shapes?

Post by axys »

This seems almost too simple but I can't see how to do it - two (or more) overlapping shapes - can they be selected and merged into one? Or at least have all the internal lines removed?

I am not aware of any boolean operations available in HD.

However, you can explode the two shapes and then trim the intersecting lines to remove the internal lines.

The perimeter lines could then be selected and converted to a polygon. However, this would require the hatch to be reapplied to the newly formed polygon.

I've been meaning to put Boolean operations on the wish list for quite some time...

It would be great for shadowing slightly more complex (curved) shapes. Thanks for raising this, guys.

Thanks for the replies - yes it would be good to have this on the wish list, along with cavity walls please! Looking forward to the next update, hopefully before too long now.
