Select the two points and find "Selected" on the right toolbar. (its in a box called weld ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ). Click it and there you go. The higher the number in the box th futher away to points can be welded

there's two ways...
select the first object, right click, convert to editable mesh, right click, attach, than click the other object, they are now attached together...
or
click the first object, go to the geometry tab, click the pulldown menu, click compound, click bollean, go down and click addition (i think that's what it's called on that menu... ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ), than click the add button (centered on the menubar a little up. again, whatever it's called...) above it, than click the object you want to connect it to. but, doing it this way adds polygons (you'll notice that the polies change to join the new object, thus creating new ones (and in some cases losing some)
(the first method is alot better)

oh, you want to weld vertices together???
I thought since you said you wanted to weld meshes together, that you wanted to weld meshes together. Go Figure...
to weld vertices go into sub-object and into vertex mode, select all vertices in the object (or you could select each pair 1 by 1 and take 5 min longer ), than go down the right menu bar till you come across the welding section, change the value in the first textbox to 1.0 and click the button next to it and it'll join all vertices in the object that you selected that are within 1.0 units of each other.

sub-object mode means that it's below object mode (and object would be the box, or the cylinder, or the tube, etc., in subobject you get to edit the parts of an object, like the individual polygons, or the vertices, or the faces, etc.), and those dots are called 'vertices' (plural for a vertex) (definition of a vertex is a point where lines connect, each corner on a triangle would be a vertex, or on a square, etc.)
right click on the selected object, go down and out and click the "Convert to editable mesh", now you're in Sub-Object Mode...
it automatically changes the right menubar to the edit tab, there are some 5 buttons with red symbols, one with several dots is the Vertex button (allows you to edit the individual Vertices), one with the box is the Polygon tool (allows you to edit the polygons), another is the face(aka edge i think...) tool, allows you to edit those lines, etc., click the vertex one and you can delete, move, etc the vertices, after that do like it says above to weld them together...

You will need some .308 stailess steel wire, and a tig torch.

Only happens with MIG, and Stick welding. TIG has no sparks unless you're doing it wrong.
Just an arc, and filler wire.
