Hi all,

Totally new to Rhino (6). Using it because client uses it for modelling.  
I want to create one object from several separate open meshes, because I want to import it (using FBX) into Unity as one mesh/object.  
Trying to use **join**.  
Now it shows as separate objects in both Rhino and Unity.  
Is there even a way to join open meshes that are not intersecting/sharing vertices?

Kind regards,  
Dick

Hi @dick.lelyveld  
If you start the `join` command without any objects pre-selected, there’s an option in the commandline to `JoinDisjointMeshes=Yes/No`. Set it to Yes and you should be good to go 🙂  
HTH, Jakob

Thank you, Jakob. This is tremendously useful for exporting to a game engine like Unity. You saved my project.

I solved the problem. I selected meshes and then type join command - then i got option “Select mesh to join. Press Enter when done ( JoinDisJointMeshes=Yes )” then i selected yes.

thanks for previously suggestions.
