You can merge two or more polygonal objects into a single mesh of triangles, by selecting all of them and choosing "Model - Merge". The individual objects will be converted to "Faces" if necessary (thus losing "Potter" and other information), then fused into a single "Faces" mesh. There will be no visual changes due to "Merge", but the selected objects are now treated as a single object.
Note: The resulting object will have the same material, textures and other attributes of the first selected object. The other objects will lose their attribute information.
Hint: Applications of the "Merge" tool:
* In VR, you can make the scene more efficient by merging objects that have the same material and other attributes. You can also let the system do this for you automatically when you publish VRML (by choosing "Export - Options - Optimize Output").
* To create smooth edges between objects that were originally created separately (such as a torso and an arm), you can "Merge" the two pieces. You can then heal the joint by adding more triangles or tweaking the vertices in joint region in the "Face Builder" tool.
