Freestyle: Connect Pattern and Join Pattern Commands


The new Connect Pattern and Join Pattern commands enable you to merge distinct rotational pattern shapes into a single, rotationally symmetric shape. These workflows are similar to those of the Connect Mirror and Join Mirror commands.

  • Connect Pattern: Creates new shapes and mesh elements to bridge gaps between elements.
  • Join Pattern: Brings target mesh elements together without creating new elements.

The connection is based on the target mesh elements of the leader shape, ensuring precise and symmetric results.
