Hi
these are 2d surfaces taken from a model of a 3d aircraft wing structure im working on. these surfaces are to be used as the basis for a FEA model mesh using shell elements. Is there any way to join them all together to form a single surface? In the past i had to import these surfaces into another software package to "stitch" them all together but this is not possible now. Is there anyway to do this in Onshape?. they need to joined together so the mesh lines up at the surface intersections. ive treid boolean union or join and it just returns each separate part unchanged.
thanks
michael

To answer your question, surfaces can only be joined together if they share a coincident edge.
If you can share a public model (as @John_P_Desilets mentioned) someone can help you out!
