Use the
Merge Assembly tool to combine a mesh of the root
Assembly, and all of its associated assemblies
and meshes
that are visible in the Project Tree, with the composite relief associated with the back surface of a design. The top of the mesh is merged with the composite relief associated with the back surface of your design, which has the effect of pushing the composite relief upwards and outwards.
To combine the root
Assembly and all of its associated visible assemblies
and meshes
in the Project Tree with the composite relief associated with the back surface of the design:
- Ensure the model containing the composite relief with which you want to merge the root
Assembly and all of its associated items in the Project Tree is open.
- In the
Project panel, ensure the root
Assembly in the Project Tree and all of its associated items that you want to merge with the composite relief are visible.
- In the Project Tree, select the
Back Relief item to make it active.
- Click
next to the
Back Relief item, then select the relief layer with which you want to merge a mesh of the root
Assembly. Its panel is displayed below the splitter bar.
Note: In the Project Tree, the
Back Relief
is still active; indicated by its name being displayed in bold text.
- In the Project Tree, ensure the active relief layer is visible.
- In the Project Tree, select the root
Assembly. The
Assembly panel is displayed below the splitter bar.
Note: In the Project Tree, the
Back Relief and your previously selected relief layer are still active; indicated by their names being displayed in bold text.
- In the
Tools area of the
Assembly panel, click the
Merge Assembly
button. The mesh of the root
Assembly
is merged with the active relief layer.
