Here's a quick tutorial on how to do just that:

  1. Select the edges you want to merge.

  2. Press W to bring up the Specials menu.

  3. Select Merge Edges from the menu.

  4. That's it! The edges will be merged and you can continue working on your model.

I hope this quick tip helps you speed up your workflow in Blender. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Q: How do you get rid of overlapping edges in blender?

A: There are a few ways to do this, but the most straightforward way is to select the edges that you want to get rid of, and then press X to delete them.

Q: How do you merge overlapping objects in blender?

A: There is no one definitive way to do this. Depending on the complexity of your objects, you may need to use a combination of methods.

One common way to do this is to use the Boolean Modifier. With your objects selected, go to the Modifiers tab in the Properties window and add a Boolean Modifier. In the modifier settings, select the object you want to use as the "cutter" and choose the appropriate operation.

Another way to do this is to use the Knife Project tool. With your objects selected, go to Edit Mode and press Spacebar to search for Knife Project. This will project the faces of one object onto another, which can be useful for aligning them.

If your objects are very simple, you may be able to just select the faces you want to delete on one object and press X to delete them.

Q: How do you merge edges together?

A: There is no one-click solution to this, but it can be done with a few steps.

  1. Select the edges you want to merge together.

  2. Press F to bring up the extrude menu.

  3. In the extrude menu, set the mode to "Merge"

  4. Extrude the selected edges by the desired amount.
