Suggestion: Merge all surface of same structure

Hello again,
I would suggest a command that can merge surface of same structures, just like the command MergeAllCoplanarFaces, that can improve greatly the modeling efficiency.

Here is an example of what i do everyday:


I am requested to fill some area, and this is one of the pieces.

My formal step 1 to fill back the hole is extract nearby surface, untrim all and create solid, and then perform boolean union.

However some surface which suppose to be one piece of surface is now in 2 piece, I have to extract them, duplicate border, delete all but keep one of those surface, untrim all, trim with border curve.


This takes me most of time in modeling.

this is the complexity i am handling.

This is one of the area that need to rework, some panelines did not do well, and after filling them I will need to combine the surface to one piece again, before boolean operation of adjusted panel line set

For this situation you must use _ReplaceEdge.
It works in 3 different ways and it saved my lot of time.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t use replace edge, I will try in work time tomorrow. Thanks.

Hum…looks like there is lots of rarely use tool to explore :sweat_smile:
