Union

Combine selected solids into one geometric result.

Combine selected solids into one geometric result.

Where to find it

Geometry workspace; System → Geometry

How to use it

Choose the input objects and build the operation after those objects in the geometry sequence. Choose Build All Geometry to update Graphics.

Settings and initial values

SettingInitial valueMeaning
ObjectsallSelect at least two earlier solids by label or a named selection; all selects the available inputs. Inspect overlap and the resulting interfaces. Raw imported surfaces are not automatically valid solid Boolean inputs.
Keep input entitiesfalseWhen enabled, retain the original selected objects as well as the operation result. When disabled, replace the selected inputs with the result. Retained overlapping solids can require different material or mesh selections; inspect them before solving.
Keep interior boundariesfalseThis saved option is currently not applied by the geometry build to preserve interfaces. Do not depend on it to keep material-domain boundaries; inspect the built domains and use separate retained solids when that is the intended model.

Result

Built solids and their selectable entities appear in Graphics.

Troubleshooting

Inspect interfaces after the union; downstream boundary selections may need updating.
