Merge Structures
With this function, you can merge horizontal structures and
floor, roof or wall panels. Things to note when merging
structures:
- When merging structures whose basic layers have varying
materials, the program prompts you to confirm the merge.
- When merging individual structural layers (other than basic
layers), the material of the layers must match.
- The horizontal structures must have the same elevation.
- The horizontal structures must cut each other.
- When combining wall panels, the edges of the panels must join
together.
The selected structures are combined into a single structure,
which can be managed with other horizontal structure functions.
- Select the structures with the Ctrl key pressed down.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Merge.
When merging structures whose basic layers have varying
materials, the program prompts you to confirm the merge.
Note
- You can use this function to reunite a structure that has been
cut with the function Cut an Area.
- You can use the function to merge two or more wall panels into
a single panel. If one of the panels is an exterior wall panel, the
merged panel will also be one.
- When merging wall panels, the openings and electrical symbols
will be automatically inherited by the merged panels.
