Transform a group of objects into a single one

Post by LeonRegis »

If I encapsulate or glue certain objects how can I make those become a single one later? I don't want to use the union boolean operation.

PS: If this has been asked before, sorry.

Thanks in Advance

Hey Leon. I think there is an icon called: Compress History. That should do it.

Thanks Froo, I thought that would work too, but seems that don't... I pressed flatten history and didn't worked (I guess compress history and flatten is the same thing?).

Anyway I find a way it works, I make any other object and then subtract it from the group (but without take any part of it) and it become a single object, but then it loses all the texture (become black in the modelside). There is a way to turn it in a single object in the model side?

Thanks again

Why not use the scene editor to select them?
Is there an icon for mesh collapse? :?:

Meshcollapse is a plug-in. You have to install it. I think it comes with TS7.
