Merges multiple existing volume objects into a single new volume. By using the Operation box to define the volume objects to add to or remove from the merged volume, you can place more complex volume shapes than with the standard placement commands. For example, with this command, you can create an L-shaped volume by merging two overlapping rectangular volume objects.

The existing volumes are consumed in the merge operation; consequently, the sub-volumes are no longer available as separate entities. The software removes them from the graphic views and groups them under the merged volume in the Workspace Explorer.

The resulting 3-D volume type is, by default, the same type as the last type used; however, you can change this type if necessary. The resulting volume inherits the properties of the first volume that you select for the merge.

You can only select the sub-volumes grouped under the merge from the Workspace Explorer. Sub-volumes used to create a merged volume have no value on their own and are used solely to create geometric shapes that otherwise could not be created. Deleting a merged volume deletes all of the sub-volumes associated with it.
