Problem with Volumes Gambit

Danath · October 19, 2011, 08:58

Hello !

i have creates two volumes(create real brick).These volumes are side by side (the side of a volume is glued to the side of the other volume)

when i try to merge the volumes i see a message that says that "Error: Volume volume.X can not be merged with other volume(s) (it is disconnected)"
When i try to create the volumes with edges everything is ok!(because i take the face of the first volume as the face of the other)

can i connect the volumes without change the drawing ?

you have 2 common faces superposed.
Then connect the 2 surfaces, it won't merge your 2 volumes.
But after connecting you will be able to merge the volumes.
