If you're new to Blender, you might not know that you can actually edit two objects at once. This can be really handy if you're trying to line up two objects or make them the same size. Here's how to do it:

  1. Select the two objects that you want to edit.

  2. Go into Edit mode (press Tab).

  3. Select the vertices, edges, or faces that you want to edit.

  4. Press the W key and choose the "Bridge Edge Loops" command.

  5. Move the mouse to create the new edge loop.

  6. Press Enter to confirm.

And that's it! You can now move, scale, or rotate the two objects as one.

Q: How do you select two objects at the same time in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to select two objects at the same time in Blender. You can hold down the Shift key and click on each object, or you can use the box select tool and drag a selection box around both objects.

Q: How do you select multiple objects in edit mode?

A: In the 3D View, select one or more objects.

In the Properties window, under the Object Data tab, in the Vertex Groups section, click the + button.

In the Add Vertex Group dialog, enter a name for the new vertex group, and click the Add button.

The new vertex group appears in the list of vertex groups.

Click the Assign button to assign the selected vertices to the new vertex group.

Q: How do you copy a modifier to multiple objects in Blender?

A: There is no built-in way to do this in Blender, but there are a few ways to work around it:

Duplicate the object with the modifier and apply the modifier to the new object.

Use a 3D printing software that supports Blender, such as Cura, and use its modifier duplication feature.

Use a Python script to duplicate the modifier.

Q: How do you join two objects seamlessly in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to join two objects seamlessly in Blender. One way is to use the Join Objects tool, which can be found in the Tools panel (press T to open). With two objects selected, simply click the Join Objects button and they will be joined together.

Another way to join two objects is to use the Boolean modifier. Add a Boolean modifier to one of the objects, select the other object as the target, and choose the union operation. This will join the two objects together.

Finally, you can also use the mesh merge operator. With two objects selected, press W and choose Mesh » Merge » At Center. This will merge the two objects together at their centers.
