Coupling the entities

If required, any two entities that touch each other in their endpoints can be coupled (joined) to create a single entity.

The procedure for the coupling of entities into one

   1. either call menu function Modify > Join,

   2. or click button [Join] () on toolbar Geometrical manipulations,

2. Select the entity that should be joined together.

3. Press [Esc] to end the function.

4. The individual entities are coupled.

Note 1: The entities that are being coupled together, must lie on one line. Otherwise, it is not possible to create a single 1D member from them.

Note 2: If any entities have been selected prior to calling this function, the function itself does not require making of any other selection. The function is applied on the selection made beforehand.
