Command Overview

Create a unified perimeter based on other loaded closed strings. How this command operates depends on the relative arrangement of the target strings, erasing the original string data.

  • If overlapping polygons are selected in any 3D window, this command creates a new polygon which contains the area inside all of them.
  • If separate polygons are selected in any 3D window, this command creates an identical polygon for each selected item.

Note: A variation of this command - polygon-union ("plyu") - retains the original polygon string data.
