Practical Uses

Building a Character

• Body (cylinder) + Head (sphere)
• Union creates single mesh

Creating Furniture

• Table legs + table top
• Multiple unions to combine

Organic Shapes

• Overlapping spheres
• Union for smooth-ish combinations

The Process

1. Create Shape A
2. Create Shape B
3. Position with overlap
4. Select A, then Shift+click B
5. Click Union button
6. Single result object created

Important Notes

• Original shapes are hidden (not deleted)
• Result is a new object
• Name your result appropriately
• Internal faces are removed automatically

When NOT to Use Union

• Shapes that don't overlap (no effect)
• When you need to edit parts separately later
• For very complex combinations (can cause issues)

Keep it simple - union 2 shapes at a time!
