Joined objects will simply behave as one object when it comes to transforming them. They are simply intersecting with one another.

Other parts: It's key to remember that even if the objects are touching when being joined, they are not connected together.

To select an object as the parent, it will need to be selected last.

This could be the most prominent object, the body of a character model, for example.

The parent: There is always one object that will be the parent of all other objects that are being joined.

However, before we dive into the steps involved in joining objects, here are a few things to understand: To ease your work, you might join the pieces together in their assembled state while in Blender, then have them printed separately in actuality. Although you can rotate, scale, or move the joined objects together, they are technically unattached.įor example, you could be modeling a complex miniature model or a mechanical part that must be assembled after printing. As before, we’re going to be taking a look at rendering performance for both Cycles and Eevee, as well as viewport performance with Solid, Wireframe, and Material Preview modes. When the objects in Blender are joined together, they are actually not geometrically connected but are simply marked as one object. We’re taking a performance look at Blender’s latest version, 3.1, with the help of a huge collection of current-gen GPUs. When getting started with Blender, one of the fundamental tasks you will need to learn is joining two objects together.
