Combining Polygon Objects

Hi,

How does one combine polygon objects into polygon groups?

I am looking at the help file for the bridge tool, when I had two polygon objects the bridge tool would not join them, when i group the objects into a group it still no work.

I did find a way involving using Boolean, this allowed me to bridge, but it caused the object to be triangulated, and this does not look like the example picture.

Thanks
J
 
If you have 2 polygon objects, one way to join them is:

1) Drag ObjectB onto ObjectA in the Object Browser window. This will make B a child of A.
2) Select ObjectA, click the Tools menu, and choose Import Children.
3) Delete ObjectB

ObjectA should now contain all the polygons from both objects.

When your objects have some transformations and stuff, then it might be helpful to use "Burn Transform" on the parent object before "2)".

Great, You have answered another question that I had, how to re-centre an object's coordinate system.

Thanks!
