Unite Solids

(3D only) Used to unite two or more overlapping solids.

You can access this tool from the following:

Ribbon: Modeling > Solids > Modify Features
Ribbon: Modeling > Home > Modify > Boolean Tools
Toolbox: Modify Features

Setting	Description
Originals	Sets the behavior of the original profile elements after the feature is created. Hide - The original profile elements are associated with the feature to allow for later modification, but are not visible. To use or modify the profiles again, you will need to use Show Input Element command from the reset pop-up menu of the respective participating solid. Show - The original profile elements are associated with the feature to allow for later modification and are visible. This allows you to quickly reuse the same profile elements in another 3D operation. Modifying the target element will affect both operations. Copy and Hide - Similar to `Hide`; except that a copy of the profile elements is made first, leaving the original profile elements unassociated. This allows you to quickly reuse the same profile elements in another 3D operation that you do not wish to be associated with the previous feature.
Merge Parametric Solids	If on, all the features applied to the individual participating solids are available in the resultant solid and can be found in its merged feature tree. If off, the features applied to the participating parametric solids are preserved as separate elements. Note: When Originals is set to `Show`, to make the original (associative) participating parametric solids visible after applying unite feature, Merge Parametric Solids must be off. For more information on this setting please refer Using Merge Parametric Solids Option.

Originals

Sets the behavior of the original profile elements after the feature is created.

Hide - The original profile elements are associated with the feature to allow for later modification, but are not visible. To use or modify the profiles again, you will need to use Show Input Element command from the reset pop-up menu of the respective participating solid.
Show - The original profile elements are associated with the feature to allow for later modification and are visible. This allows you to quickly reuse the same profile elements in another 3D operation. Modifying the target element will affect both operations.
Copy and Hide - Similar to Hide; except that a copy of the profile elements is made first, leaving the original profile elements unassociated. This allows you to quickly reuse the same profile elements in another 3D operation that you do not wish to be associated with the previous feature.

Merge Parametric Solids

If on, all the features applied to the individual participating solids are available in the resultant solid and can be found in its merged feature tree.

If off, the features applied to the participating parametric solids are preserved as separate elements.

Note: When Originals is set to Show, to make the original (associative) participating parametric solids visible after applying unite feature, Merge Parametric Solids must be off.
