I am trying to find a workflow thru these buildings. I have encapsulated 3D four sides that I modeled today. I can then go into PE and weld the vertices together. At least they appear to be welded, though I think they are not really welded, more like a UV vertice, just over top of the other vertice.

Is this a good thing to do, or am I making a big problem for myself down the road. I assume these buildigs would just be grouped objects in other programs? Correct?


Is there another way to get these building sides into the PE and weld them as 1 complete object as opposed to 4 separate ones?


Thanks


Rich

Wouldn't Boolean Merge with Flatten History be easier?

Nicely done Prodigy :) I think my brain was turning to mush after working on these things the last few days.

Thanks True, also another one I should have thought of... great idea. ;)


It's all easy when you know the answers :D


Thanks guys!
