Pattern Combine

[Anonymous]

A check box should be add in pattern (rect or circular), so it generate only one part, that what we are looking for in most of the time, it reduce drasticly the object tree list and the number of operations too.

When you need to combine in a separatly opperation, you have to select the bodies, it generate many manipulations and if you do many pattern, this become none productive.

This would be a great feature to have -- without this and no way to do a selection set from a pattern makes parameterized patterns a manual process since you have to redo the combine selection every time you change a parameter.

I found a workaround that works for gears. First I create a disk that is slightly larger than the gear I want to create. Then I extrude (cut) away a single teeth, and then use circular pattern to clone the cut many times. You are now left with gear in a single body.

I can now simply change the tooth parameter to generate a gear with a different amount of teeth.
