Remove doubles?

You have confused me a little.

If you have two or more vertex in the same location, are those not then overlapping?

Yes they do. Sorry for confusion

Okay, got it working. Weld in the Visual tools, with threshold of 0.1. Wonder why it didn`t work before. Hm. Thanks for help

If the visual tool window is hidden or auto-hide, when you open a visual tool, its setting panel will appear in floating style to make sure its visibility. I hope that's the 'undock feature' you asked for.

Oh, it`s already there. Great. Thanks. Yes, that`s what i was looking for

I make the weld tool's visual panel floating because the tool is no longer bound to vertex mode. It can be opened and works in all subobject modes.

I have just been checking that. It does certainly make the tool/function even more confusing. The problem of course is the fact that NVIL only welds vertex.(unless using ("sub_object mesh" "mirror > weld")

If, for example I have 2 separate polygons(objects) then weld them, in NVIL I am not actually welding the polygons together, it will collapse the polygons and weld together the vertex of each separate polygons(objects). Other programs I use, would weld the 2 polygons(objects) together, not collapse them.

I have been getting that sometimes, where a tool/function does not appear to work, but then later does work.

I will have an eye at this. But it was most probably me, being too impatient and distracted sometimes

Isn`t this the case for what Remove Doubles is meant for?

Not really no.

With "Remove Doubles" that is for welding nearest vertex in same object/mesh. With Blender, you would first need to join 2 objects before being able to "Remove Doubles" across both. That function is already there in NVIL, with "Weld to Nearest".

What I was describing above about welding 2 separate objects/mesh, could be considered as a join/merge function which automatically welds(remove doubles or whatever you want to call it), similar to the mesh "mirror+Weld" function in NVIL

I am not asking for a new function, only trying to point out that if selecting 2 polygons and running a weld command on them, then I (and probably most others)would expect the 2 polygons to be welded together, not for the 2 polygons to be collapsed. Collapsing the polygons is for the collapse tool/function.

I see. Let`s have a look what iStonia thinks here

I can see what IStonia is doing with the weld functions, but think it will cause some confusion for users.

I can see three benefits from making the weld tool available in all subobject modes.
  - You don't need to switch mode.
  - Edge and polygon selections are easier to make.
  - Edge and polygon selections provide a different way to distinquish selection groups.

Weling polygons? What is it?

When i undestand it right it`s something like a remove doubles, just limited to the current faces selection, and with the limit that the vertices needs to overlap.
