Hi,

Thanks for the reply.Am using the above method which you have mentioned to merge two solids. But am getting the below error.

Failed to perform the Boolean operation for the two solids. This may be due to geometric inaccuracies in the solids, such as slightly misaligned faces or edges. If so, eliminating the inaccuracies by making sure the solids are accurately aligned may solve the problem. This also may be due to one or both solids having complexities such as more than two faces geometrically meeting along a single edge, or two coincident edges, etc. Eliminating such conditions, or performing a sequence of Boolean operations in an order that avoids such conditions, may solve the problem.

Thanks and Regards.

Vinoth.

Hi,

I think the error explanation is sufficient and logical.

A workaround, as it it said in the documentation:

Shuffle the order of joining.

If you cannot union A and B, then try A and C. The AC result may be joinable with B then.

Hi,

Will check in different way of joining solids and will update on the same. Thanks for the reply.
