I did use the context menu. I did use primitive shapes with regular fillings. Here is the file to the problem: roads.odp http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4030970/roads.odp That's good. I use LO4.0 and there is no problem with merging. You are not using primitive shapes, but custom shapes. If you use a custom shape you see the text shape in the status bar and the icon toggle 3D is enabled. Primitive shapes are for example rectangle, circle, parallelogram. You see the kind of shape in the status bar and the icon toggle 3D is disabled. It is very likely, that you do not mark both of the shapes you want to merge. Have a look into the status bar. If you see shape selected it is only 1 shape, you should see 2 shapes selected and later on 2 draw object selected when you have marked different kind of shapes. Why do you work in Impress? For such drawings Draw is the better module. In Draw you can use layers. You can have a layer for the hexagons, one for the green park and another one for the streets. If you lock the other layers, you can select the street-parts easily by dragging a selection rectangle. Merging is only possible with Bézier-curves, so do not wonder, when your shapes are converted automatically. Kind regards Regina I've been able to reproduce the issue: Create a circle with a diameter of X (let's say 1cm). Create a rectangle with a width of 1cm and any height. Align the bottom centre of the rectangle to the centre of the circle. Now rotate the rectangle by 60 degrees (120 or 240 work as well) with the rotation axis being the centre of the circle. Contextmenu - shape - merge; The result is anything but a proper merge. Any creative ideas?
