Merging Faces into one
Merging Faces into one
(OP)
On an imported model, is there a way to merge split faces of the solid into one face with no seams?

RE: Merging Faces into one
I don't think there are on features, etc... that will merge faces into a single surface, howevere there is a heal edges, but I don't think that will do what you are looking for.

Since this is somewhat sketchy, depending on your edge geometry, you may need to delete faces in a more uniform way. For instance, let's suppose you have two edges merging into a single edge and you want to apply a steady radius to all three. You cannot do this because the "fork in the road" with the edges that separate as they fork from the single edge. You can split the faces in the fork region (to remove them), add the fillets you want to the three edges (with fork area deleted), then fill the surface back in as a single surface. Use tangency and contact options to govern your edge tangency and you have a clean surface instead of many fractured surfaces.
This is complicated to understand in a single post. Let me know if you'd like any help with something in particular and we can deal with it via email.
