Merging Away3D primitives doesn’t work.
Is there any way I can merge two primitive shapes?

Are you using the latest git repo? There were issues in the past with Primitive merging because these have buffers with fixed sizes. This is resolved in latest builds.

If you are, please provide some code so i can reproduce. I have on my machine code merging spheres and cubes running with no issues.

I am using the latest, and even re-downloaded it to make sure.

I’d send you the ZIP with all the code if I knew your email, but for now here’s the merging snippet…

var elevation:int=thisTile[TILE_ELEVATION];
    var surrounding:Array=checkSurroundingTiles(x,y);
    
    var newMesh:Mesh;
    var mergeContainer:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
    //planes
    var middle:Plane= null;
    var up:Plane=null;
    var down:Plane=null;
    var left:Plane=null;
    var right:Plane=null;

    //GlobalVar.defaultMaterial is just a color material
    //GlobalVar.tileSize is an int with the value of 1
    
    //MIDDLE TILE
    middle = new Plane(GlobalVar.defaultMaterial,GlobalVar.tileSize,GlobalVar.tileSize);
    middle.x=x;
    middle.z=y;
    middle.y=elevation;
    mergeContainer.addChild(middle);
    //END OF MIDDLE TILE
    
    //DOWN TILE
    down=new Plane(GlobalVar.defaultMaterial,GlobalVar.tileSize,GlobalVar.tileSize);
    down.x=x;
    down.z = y-(GlobalVar.tileSize/2);
    down.y = elevation-(GlobalVar.tileSize/2);
    down.rotationX=-90;
    mergeContainer.addChild(down);
    //END OF DOWN TILE

    //Merge the tiles
    var merge:Merge=new Merge();
    newMesh = merge.applyToContainer(mergeContainer, "");
    
    //Set new material?
    newMesh.material=GlobalVar.defaultMaterial;
    
    //add mesh to objectContainer3D
    tileContainer.addChild(newMesh);
    //LinearElevation class please!!! :(:(:( 

I hope you can help!
Thanks!
