How do I merge serveral polys to make one?

by ChrisG · in Artist Corner · 05/06/2007 (8:21 pm) · 4 replies

I'm trying to get the artifatcs out of my watercooler bubble.
The circular flat surface at the top of the bubble is made from 16 overlapping polygons (This was the result of the lathing process.) - which I believe are co-planar.

How do a merge these 16 polygons together to make one polygon?

Select all the polygons to merge and then use your programs "merge" or "merge polygons" feature :)

This from another thread on another site:

in EditablePoly (after selecting polys)
-press del
-select borders subobject
-select the hole
-use cap

or?

- crtl+shift click edge mode
- press backspace
