Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Merge Edge Tool
I have a church in my scene which consists of 10 pieces. I combined them but now I have to merge the edges. I used the merge edge tool until now but it is a lot of work to click every single edge a few times. Can I use the selecte edge loop tool and automatically merge them?

just select them all, combine, and then merge the verts.

that's a new feature with 09Originally posted by stwert
I think if you double click on one of the edges, it should select the entire edge loop
you would do what hammer said, make sure everything is one mesh to start with then merge the verts rather than merge edges
in 8.5 on an apple you select two edges you want merged, hold apple right click and select edge loop utilities > to edge loop
then apple right click and select to verticies
then edit mesh > merge > []
set the threashold really low (and then just use the shelf button to merge verts in future)
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

no you can'tOriginally posted by hammer.horror
you can do that in 2008
if you double click an edge in 2008 it just selects the single edge
double clicking an edge to select the edge loop is new to 2009
