Merge Frame Generator Members

Is it possible to merge or make two frame generator parts into one single part?

Yes - but only during placement.

If you've already placed them, then no - you can't subsequently merge them.  (You could create a new part and use "Copy Object" to bring in the two separate members and join them - but I don't think that's the answer you're looking for.)

How do I do it upon placement?

Sorry - I should have been clearer:  When you place frame members, tick the "Merge Frame Members" option, then start placing.  When you are finished, the members should be merged.

 

This GIF is a bit quick, but you can see the result is one frame member:

You are very welcome!  Don't forget to press the "Accept Solution" button so other can find it more easily in the future 😉

 

Note - Turn the Merge function OFF next time you place frame members.  It can be very frustrating to place a bunch of members only to find them unintentionally merged.
