Connects solid faces and edges of planar surfaces to other solids, planar surfaces or regions.
If the DELETEINTERFERENCE system variable is ON, the connected solid is subtracted from interfering solids.

Command Options
Option | Description |
Connect to nearest |
Connects the selected face(s) or edges of planar surfaces to the nearest regions, planar surfaces or face(s) of other solid(s). Select the faces or edges of planar surfaces. Right-click or press Enter to create the connections. |
Disconnect |
This option applies to solid faces only. The face is disconnected and made perpendicular to the adjacent faces, which results in a single edge or vertex connection. Before: Disconnected result: Prompts you: Select entities to disconnect from or [Disconnect from nearest/Connect/selection options (?)] <Disconnect from nearest>:
