Template:Maya mergevertices

It is possible to merge multiple vertices into one. Select the vertices you want to merge in component mode, then go to the option box next to edit mesh > merge vertices. The settings of the merge vertices command will be shown:

The threshold is the amount of units within which the selected vertices should be for Maya to merge them and is automatically set to 0,0100. If the vertices you want to merge are further apart, put in a number that is bigger than the amount of units the vertices are apart from each other, after that press merge:

The merge vertices command can also be a solution to problems with a Boolean operation. If for instance both objects disappear when using Booleans > difference, one of the possible reasons could be that one or both of the objects have 2 vertices on the same spot. To solve this, select both objects and use the merge vertices command (for this the threshold needs to be very low, for instance 0,01, because you only want to merge the vertices that are on the same place, so check this in the option box).
