What it does
Merges a gable plane with its base wall so they adopt the same material properties and orientation. This creates a seamless appearance between the gable and wall sections.
🧾 Prerequisites
Before merging a gable with a wall, you need to have already inserted a gable on the wall. See the related article "How do I add a gable plane to a wall?" for instructions on gable insertion.
🔧 How to merge a gable with a wall
First, select the gable plane you want to merge
Then, select the wall plane below it
Execute the merge command (right-click menu or appropriate toolbar option)
💡 Viewing tip
Before merging, it's recommended to switch to Isometric view, and to display the hatch pattern on the planes by selecting Show > Walls from the menu. The hatch pattern shows the material orientation, making it easier to see the difference between merged and unmerged gables.
🛠 What happens when you merge
When you merge a gable plane with a wall plane:
The gable adopts the same material as the base wall
The material orientation (siding direction) matches the wall
The hatch pattern becomes consistent across both surfaces
⚠️ Important notes
Remember that the hatch pattern also shows the orientation of the material cladding. This visual feedback helps ensure proper alignment before completing the merge operation.
