The ‘dish’ in the file was made by extruding a circle, exploding to make a srf, planarsrf for the bottom, then offsetsrf solidyes.
Now it’s a good polysrf, but made from eight srfs, not just five.
When exploded, mergesrf won’t work on the cylindric srfs, even though the distance shows as 0.000.
Even when I make tolerance .1 it won’t merge.
It’s not important, but why???

There are only 2 surfaces in your file (open cylinder). I guess you missed something.

Hi Chris- MergeSrf has pretty stringent requirements- see Help. Perhaps Join is what you are after?

Well, I dunno how I posted that. This is what it should be
My sense is that it should have five srfs not eight.
And mrgsrf doesn’t.

Hi Chris- top edge and sides will merge in this setup - set Smooth=No. Explode the object, mergeSrf and pick on the edges you would like to merge- in this case presumably the two top edges- you’ll need mergeSrf twice to get the top merged to the sides. The bottom faces will not merge to anything, they will Join.
But… why?

I’m compulsive this way. When I get a two surface cylinder when it should be just one, I make it one with mergesrf.
No ‘real’ reason.
