Hi,

I'm trying to "fuse" together boolean pieces with the same name attribute and can't seem to get the last step. Basically, I want to reduce the smaller pieces by combining them with their neighbor (based on attribute transfer distance, in this case).

In the file provided, I have fracture a geo with boolean, grouped the result into "big" and "small" groups, transfered the name attribute from the large pieces onto the smaller ones...and then I'm stuck. If I use an exploded view, the smaller pieces are "fused" to the larger ones, but once I send the geo into a sim, the pieces are not seen as one chunk.

Note: I realize this can be done with an rbdcluster node, but I was trying to find another way on my own.

Thanks for any help!

You should override the name attribute before sim if you modified it.
In this case, checking on the option "create convex hull per set of connected primitives"
of the RBDpackobject is recommended.
