Region Merge

Region Merge

Fuses two closed regions (Shape / ComplexShape), picked by two successive clicks, into a single region via a geometric union. The merged result inherits the FIRST clicked region's level and symbology.

Command

MergeRegion

macro vba run [ARES]MergeRegion

Starts the interactive merge: click on a first region, then on a second region, to fuse them. The command re-arms for the next pair; reset to end.

If the two regions do not overlap or touch, the merge is refused (a status message says so) — both original regions are left untouched. Only regions that actually fuse into one visual outline are merged.

Configuration variables

Variable Default Purpose
ARES_RegionMerge_Keep_Originals False False = delete both original regions after the merged result is written; True = keep them alongside it.
