Join Openings Manually
By selecting multiple openings and clicking 'Join/Unjoin', ConVoid will automatically join them into a single opening. The reference openings used to create the merged opening will be marked as 'Placeholder' and will not be deleted from your model. To unjoin the openings again, simply select the joined opening and click 'Join/Unjoin' again.
Join Openings by Distance
You can also join openings by a predefined distance. By deselecting all elements in your model and clicking 'Join/Unjoin' a window will pop up that allows you to do so.
-
First, choose whether you want to join openings in your current view or the entire project.
-
Second, set a distance at which the openings should join.
-
Next, select the filters of the openings that should be considered when joining the opening and click [Join Openings].
-
ConVoid will now join all openings based on your set conditions.
