Synopsis

polyMergeEdge [-constructionHistory boolean] [-firstEdge int] [-mergeMode int] [-name string] [-secondEdge int]

polyMergeEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Both edges must belong to the same object, and orientations must match (i.e. normals on corresponding faces must point in the same direction).
Edge flags are mandatory.

Flags

Long name (short name)	[argument types]	Properties
-mergeMode(-mm)	int
This flag specifies how to merge, merge mode : at first edge : 0, in between : 1, at last edge : 2. C: Default is in between. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-firstEdge(-fe)	int
The number of the first edge to merge. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-secondEdge(-se)	int
The number of the second edge to merge. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-name(-n)	string
Name the resulting object.
-constructionHistory(-ch)	boolean
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). In query mode, this flag needs a value.
