Polygon Edit palette > Polyset > Combine Polygons

Combining and Creating a Polyset


Combine Polygons copies all picked polysets and any polygons that have all vertices picked, and combines them into one new polyset.

How to Use

Selecting geometry with this tool is a little different than with Extract polygons. Both polysets and polygon vertices can be selected:

1
Select Polygon Edit > Polyset > Combine polygons or click this icon.
The system prompts:
Select vertices or polygons to combine.

Click an edge of a polyset, or draw a pick box around only edges (no vertices) to select or deselect one or more polysets.

2
Select all the vertices of the polygons to combine. The system prompts:
Select/deselect vertices of polygons to combine. Click on GO to execute extract.

Click a vertex, or draw a pick box around any vertices to select or deselect one or more vertices.

>
Note: You can select vertices the same way as with the Pick Vertex tool (which allows you to select by vertex or by polygon). If an entire polyset is selected, all of its polygons are selected for combining. An individual polygon is selected by selecting all the vertices that make up that polygon.
3
Once vertices or polysets have been selected, click Go to perform the combine operation.

Once combined, all polygons of every selected polyset and all individually selected polygons are copied into one new polyset. The original polysets remain unchanged.

Polygon Combine Options

Keep Originals

    • ON - creates the new polyset, leave the original polygons.
    • OFF - creates the new polyset and delete the original polygons.
