Description

Find connectors that need to be combined and place them on the output mark.

Inputs

outputmark: Connector mark to be populated.
tolerance: Search radius to find combinations.

Examples

Connectors found inside a tolerance of 0.5 will be populated on the output mark 1 if they meet all the requirements to be combined.

*CE_PreviewCombine(1, 0.5)

This command works similar to the preview empty or preview unused options in the HyperMesh Delete panel. The output mark should not contain any connectors prior to calling this command. The preview combine feature highlights all connectors that need conversion (two 2T connectors that share certain common information to a single 3T connector) within the specified tolerance.
