\r\n \t\t\t\t\tRegardless of the solution you’re using, always verify the plate properties and the loads on the merged surfaces! \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

Solution 1<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Select the border(s) between the surfaces you want to merge.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. Click on \"\" or hit DEL<\/kbd>.\n
      \n
    • If the selected lines have a cross-section, the cross-section will be removed. Repeat step 2 again.<\/li>\n
    • If the selected lines didn’t have a cross-section assigned, you’ll see a dialog box. Choose ‘Merge’. Result:
      \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Solution 2<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Double click a border of the unwanted plate and set the length to zero.<\/li>\n
      • Repeat until the plate is gone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Solution 3<\/h3>\n

        Assume you want to remove the selected line so the two plates are joint.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Divide the line in 3 parts.
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n
        • Use the translate function \"\" to move point A to point B and point C to point D.
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n
        • Result:
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Solution 4<\/h3>\n

          Work level by level:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Select all plates, but NOT their borders. You can use CTRL<\/kbd>, SHIFT<\/kbd> or the menu Select<\/em>.<\/li>\n
          • Hit CTRL<\/kbd>+SHIFT<\/kbd>+DEL<\/kbd>. This will delete the plates but not the borders.\"\"<\/li>\n
          • Delete excess lines.<\/li>\n
          • Select all borders and generate a new plate.\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
