Extra Edges Tool

The Extra Edges tool is an alternative for merging faces that are tangent or nearly tangent. Instead of merging two faces by selecting the faces, you select and remove the edge(s) between faces to merge the faces. You should only merge faces that are tangent or close to tangent. Otherwise, the results may be unexpected.

Note: Merging faces is recommended only as preparation for analysis. Merging faces simplifies the model but it may make it more difficult to modify.

This is one of a few geometry repair and navigation tools included here for ease of access. Their behavior is the same as if accessed from the Repair ribbon.
