Synopsis

polyMergeFacet [-constructionHistory boolean] [-firstFacet int] [-mergeMode int] [-name string] [-secondFacet int]

polyMergeFacet is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The second face becomes a hole in the first face.
The new holed face is located either on the first, last, or between both selected faces, depending on the mode.

Both faces must belong to the same object.
Facet flags are mandatory.

Flags

constructionHistory, firstFacet, mergeMode, name, secondFacet
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
-mergeMode(-mm) int createqueryedit
This flag specifies how faces are merged: 0: moves second face to first one 1: moves both faces to average 2: moves first face to second one 3, 4, 5: same as above, except faces are projected but not centred 6: Nothing moves.
C: Default is None (6).

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-firstFacet(-ff) int createqueryedit
The number of the first (outer) face to merge.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-secondFacet(-sf) int createqueryedit
The number of the second (hole) face to merge.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-name(-n) string create
Name the resulting object.
-constructionHistory(-ch) boolean createquery
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can be used more than once in a command
