Hey guys, is it possible to merge/meld 2 points together in ver 8.1? For example I would like to combine points from a cube and a sphere. Is this something that is native 8.1 or is there a plugin that someone knows of. Thanks in advance.:)

I should also qualify that question by saying I would like to merge points from 2 different objects together. Thanks

You'll have to first merge the two objects if you want to weld points between them. To do that select them both (Shift-Click) and do a Function-->Connect. Then you can go into point editing mode and both objects will be active. From there you can use the Structure-->Weld command to combine points. You might want to pick up the Weld Tools plugin from Plugin Cafe. It gives you a couple of extra options for final placement of the welded points.
