 ====== 3D modeling tips 'n tricks for Meshmixer ======
-===== Join 2 objects together - method one =====

-These models ([[http://threedscans.com/albertina/poetschke/|Goethe]] and [[http://threedscans.com/uncategorized/lion/|Lion]]) have an open area which we will use to join them together.

-Scale and position the two objects so they line up as best as possible. (These positions and plane cuts could be improved)

+[[Join two meshes by smoothing out the overlapping parts|{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-join-by-smoothing-poster.jpg?400|}}]]\\
-Group the objects together (Edit > Combine). This doesn't change the meshes, but treats both objects as one.

+[[Join two meshes by snapping one of them to the surface of the other|{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-join-by-library-poster.jpg?400|}}]]\\
-select the area that includes the two open areas we want to join. Click on the menu 'select' and start making the selection by clicking in the background. Complete the selection by connecting the red line back to the first point. If there are only two open areas, select-all works fine as well.

-How can I select the bottom face of this bunny?
-{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-select-flat-areas-02.jpg?nolink|}}\\
-Go to Edit > Generate face groups.
-{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-select-flat-areas-03.jpg?nolink|}}\\
-Adjust the sliders until there is a face group on the area you want to select. The face groups are indicated by the different colours.
-{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-select-flat-areas-04.jpg?nolink|}}\\
-With the selection tool active, **double-click** on the face group you want to select.
-{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer-select-flat-areas-05.jpg?nolink|}}\\
-With the selection tool still active, it's possible to do operations that only effect the selected area. In the example, I removed the faces.
