Splitting and rejoining roofs

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:27:14 GMT

In order to roof a stair tower where part of the roof passes under another roof, I split the roof to manipulate the additional nodes to get the right form. I would now like to "rebind" the various pieces in one shape so that I don't have seams anymore.

I tried "addition" in SEO but the seams remain. If I cant make the seams disappear, I might as well use masking fill. Any suggestions?

You need to use the magic wand.
The two roofs (or any polyshape) must touch or overlap. Click on an edge for the pet pallette and choose "+" then magic wand (hold space bar down) in the other polyshape. The result leaves a redundant shape that needs to be deleted.

Thank you both. That was exactly what I was looking for. I must admit that I was also playing with adding nodes and extending edges and almost had the same shape. This software is a riot. After two+ years of using it, I am now getting into the subtle nuances.
