How do I "join" 2 or more separate parts in the same part studio together?

randal_gardner

I've constructed a part that I intend to 3d print. I drew it in as 3 different parts on the same Part Studio (I Mirrored one part and overlapped it with itself). Now I want to merge those separate parts into one single part and then modify the overall dimension of the final part. I can't seem to find any type of grouping or joining function for existing parts.

@randal_gardner, If all parts acts as merging bodies then you can use work around  by performing Boolean union operation.
Kindly refer below steps for your requirement.

Boolean

Boolean union (merge parts)

This example starts with these parts in the graphics area (they are 8 different parts):

1. Click .

   

2. Confirm that Union is selected.
3. Click to set the focus in the Tools field, then click all of the parts (small cylinders and larger cylinder).

   

4. Click .

   

If part is apart from each other then Boolean will not work. 
If still you are not able to perform Boolean operation then share your document link with us then we will definitely help you.
