Creation method

There are two options for creating a Surface Join node.

  • The first way to create a Surface Join node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • union , boolean , su
  • The second way is to select a Surface Join node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Boolean Operation > Surface Join

Steps

  • Create a Surface Join node.
  • Connect the surfaces to join to the first port.
  • Connect the tolerance for detecting overlapping edges to the second port.
  • Add a port for additional surfaces using the "add port" function in the port menu and connect other surfaces to the added ports.

After creating a node, to the first port, connect the surfaces you want to join. To the second port, connect the tolerance for detecting overlapping edges. For more than two surfaces, you need to add ports using the "add port" function in the port menu and connect other surfaces to these ports. On the output port, we will get the result of the union.
