What it does
Use this command to merge two models into one model. This feature allows you to combine separate roof designs or add components from one model into your current working model. The original models remain unchanged during the merge process.
How to use it
Open the model you want to merge content into (this will be your base model)
Go to File > Merge Model
When prompted, select the model you want to merge from the database browser
Click to select a location point in your current model where you want to place the merged content
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the merge
🧾 Before you start
Ensure both models are compatible file versions and consider the following:
Check | Description |
Model compatibility | Both models should be from compatible versions of Roof Wizard |
Scale consistency | Verify both models use the same measurement units |
Workspace size | Ensure your current model has sufficient space for the merged content |
🔧 Merge process details
During the merge process, you'll encounter these prompts:
Prompt | Action Required |
Model selection | Choose the model file from your database to merge |
Location point | Click precisely where you want the merged content positioned |
Orientation | Confirm the rotation and alignment of the merged elements |
💡 Best practices for positioning
Choose a location point that provides clear space around the merged content
Consider how the merged elements will interact with existing geometry
Use reference points like corners or centre lines for precise positioning
Preview the placement before confirming the merge
⚠️ Important notes
The original models remain unchanged - only your current working model is modified
Save your work before merging in case you need to undo changes
Complex models may take longer to merge depending on the number of elements
Follow all prompts carefully to ensure accurate placement
