Blender Merge Objects Shortcut

Depending on the context attaching multiple mesh objects may be required to further editing a selection.

Blender merge objects shortcut. Here s how to add subtract and join objects in blender 2 8. Simply shift left click on any objects to be edited and press the tab key to enter edit mode. Sometimes it s easier to model several objects and then merge them together. Merging vertices of course also deletes some edges and faces.

In blender 2 8 this can be done using join. All objects will now be accessible to edit but they are still separate objects. But blender will do everything it can to preserve edges and faces only partly involved in the reunion. Every island of selected vertices connected by selected edges will merge on its own median center leaving one vertex per island.

As an alternative to join it s now possible to edit multiple objects at the same time using multi object editing each object remains distinct but can be edited as part of a broader group selection.
