Thank you, Martin This looks very cool. I will check it out. I ended up using the script Matt sent but this looks very useful too.
I really appreciate you sending it.

It isn't a short script so I won't be able to write everything again for you. I would do it using an addon I wrote, so If you download and install my addon, you can use the code below: addon: http://skymill.co.jp/tools/Softimage/mCombine/mCombine.xsiaddon video to see what it does: http://vimeo.com/78735229 Then select the parents objects and run this script: // Jscript // Specify the Merge Tolerance Value var mergevalue = 0.00001 //----------------------------------------- var sel = getvalue("selectionlist") for ( var i=0; i < sel.Count; i++ ) { var obj = sel(i) var oChildren = obj.FindChildren2("","polymsh") var aChildren =[] for ( var j=0; j < oChildren.Count ; j++ ) { aChildren.push(oChildren(j)) } var children = obj.FindChildren("","polymsh") mCombine( aChildren+","+obj, mergevalue, 1, 1, 0, 0 ) } Martin On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 10:35 AM, Jeff McFall <jeff.mcf...@sas.com<mailto:jeff.mcf...@sas.com>> wrote: I have a large set of extruded poly objects which have their detached caps as children. I need to merge these caps into the parent geometry. There are several hundred of these and manually doing each is pretty daunting. This is beyond my scripting abilities. Anyone have any suggestions or know of a script they could point me to as reference to get started? Many thanks Jeff
