Options

• :BLANK - specifies the blank part. You can use the Part Browser or Select Container to define the part.
• :TOOLS - specifies the tool parts you want to use.
• :KEEP_TOOLS - chooses whether or not to keep the tool(s) after use.
• :YES - chooses to keep the tool(s).
• :NO - chooses not to keep the tool(s).

The default UNITE_3D control box is displayed:

Blank:              /p1
Tools:

[ ] Keep Tool

You must supply the information as specified in the syntax diagram.

When to use

Note that the tool parts must not intersect each other, and can only intersect the target part, and that they are in no way altered by this operation.

Example

1. Enter UNITE_3D to display the default control box.
2. Enter "PartA" in the Blank field.
3. Enter "PartB" in the Tools field.
4. Choose whether or not to keep the tool.
5. Enter COMPLETE to tell OneSpace Designer that you have finished setting up the operation.
6. OneSpace Designer unites the two parts.

To perform this operation via the user input area, enter the following parameter sequence:

UNITE_3D :BLANK "/partA" :TOOLS "/partB" :KEEP_TOOLS :NO COMPLETE

All part names must be enclosed by double quotes (" ").
