To Merge 3D Freeform Spaces With AEC Objects

Use this procedure to merge a 3D freeform space with a space or other AEC object. You can merge a 3D freeform space with all AEC objects that have a 3D geometry.

Note: This procedure is valid for non-associative spaces only. If you perform it on an associative space, it will loose associativity after exiting the in-place edit mode.
  1. Switch to a 3D isometric view.
  2. Select the 3D freeform space you want to merge with another object.
  3. Click Space tabModify panelEdit In Place.
  4. Click Edit In Place tab Modify panelBoolean drop-downUnion.
  5. Select the AEC object you want to merge with the 3D freeform space, and press Enter.
  6. Enter y (Yes) to erase the merged-in object, or n (No) to leave the object in the drawing.
