Hi!

I keep doing the same simple task over and over when I am modeling (I suppose I could be doing something really strange, but hey, this modeling style seems to work for me!): I need to select two (or more) points, go to Coordinate Manager and set the size two zero (joining the two points) and then run Optimize to actually convert them into a single point.

Today, after doing this for the n:th time, I thought there must be a plugin (or an inbuilt shortcut?) for doing this. I'd like to just be able to select the points and hit 'J'.

This sounds actually so simple that I might attempt to write a plugin for it myself (I have used COFFEE before, but have never written plugins), unless there already exists a plugin that does this?

TIA!

Structure-->Weld will join any selected points without optimizing. The plugin called Weld Center--available at Plugin Cafe--gives you the option of centering the selected points and welding in one step.

Thanks AdamT, Weld Center sounds exactly what I need!

Silly me, forgot to check Plugin Cafe before writing here.. :wip:
