[Solved] union component

Unread post by odysseas »

Hello all!!!

I just downloaded an engine (motor) part...which is divided into small parts (not assemblies)and all parts together forming the engine... how could i join them in a PART to be able to implement a uniform texture..?
I tried the mandate of the Union on the toolbar, but are so places that are time consuming. :evil:
Thanks in advance

Ody

Hi,

did you tried to select first the main body (shape to modify) and then with the multi-selection tool (lasso) select all the others (tool to use) at the same time?

Hi, Olaio

There is no main boady the whole motor is composed of small parts. Ι will have to choose one by one and apply the texture.
thanks anyway!!

Hi,

Olaio is right (as always :wink: ), the solution is:

Apply the texture to the main body.
Once done, go in Attribute | Materials, select the main body as the reference element.
Then go in the selection, and use the WORLD icon (select all elements), unselect the main body, then OK.

For a very easy and fast way to manage your elements : Selection tools :!:
