Merging subtools

Hi there,
Is there a way to merge two subtools to one mesh without using dynamesh? I mean in a kind of „boolean“-style, that keeps the original topology of each subtool (exept for the intersecting areas)?
Thanks
Christopher

Hi @elvis

You will probably want to use Live Boolean for that. This will create a separate mesh in the Tool palette with the prefix “UMesh_”. This is a non-destructive result which will still allow you to edit the original if you wish to do so.

Just fyi … an alternative to Live Boolean is to merge the subtools into a single subtool and the use the Remesh by Union function in the Gizmo deformers (gear icon). Live Boolean has the obvious advantage of being able to tweak the position of a subtool before committing to a boolean operation but if you already know you just want a union then the Gizmo method is convenient.

Thank you both,
thats perfect.
