in the shape of another face.

Merge mode
Using the First, Middle,
and Second merge modes, the center
of the stamp face is made to match with the center of the face the
hole is made on.
The Project
Merge modes make the hole exactly where the stamp face resides.
These modes do not center the hole but align the hole flat with
the plane face. They also do not rotate the face to match the center
as with the First, Middle,
and Second merge modes.
- First
-
The face selected second
is transformed to make the centers match. The first selected face
does not get transformed.
- Middle
-
Both the first and the
second faces are transformed to make their centers match.
- Second
-
The face selected first
is transformed to make the centers match. The second selected face
does not get transformed.
- Project First
-
The second selected face
is projected onto the first and the centers do not match. The face
is not rotated, unlike the First merge mode where the face is rotated
to match the center.
- Project Middle
-
Both faces are projected
onto a plane lying between them; their centers do not necessarily match.
- Project Second
-
The first selected face
is projected onto the second selected face and the centers do not match.
- None
-
The stamp face projects
directly onto the face plane you select. This is the default.
