Merge Two Models

Tools → Merge Two Models
Allows you to merge one Model in your Modeling database into another model. Adams View maintains the source model and does not change it after the merge operation.
This is helpful for merging two subsystems stored in the same database into a single model. It allows you to work on each subsystem individually and merge them together when you are ready to work on them as a whole.
Learn about the procedure for Merging Models.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Base Model Name
Enter the name of the destination model.
Model to be merged
Enter the name of the source model that you want merged into the destination model.
You can browse for a model by right-clicking the text boxes and selecting the appropriate commands.
Translate
Specify the translations to apply to the source model before merging it with the destination model.
By default, you enter Cartesian (x,y,z) coordinates. You can change the convention for entering translational positions. Learn more about Coordinate Systems in Adams View.
Rotation
Specify the angular position of the parts and polylines in the source model.
Add all elements to a Group named
Optional. Enter a new or existing group into which Adams View adds all merged objects. Learn about Grouping and Ungrouping Objects.
Merge/Rename
Select either:
■Merge - Merge parts that have the same name.
■Rename - Rename the parts before merging the models.
Note: This option affects parts only. All other objects in the “model to be merged” which share the same name as those in the “base model” will automatiocally have an indexing suffix (for example, “_2”) added to their names in the merged model.
Merge ground parts
When Rename parts is selected, this option will merge the ground parts rather than renaming them.
