# Group Mesh

![CmdGroup.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdGroup.svg)

To create a compound mesh from several independent meshes.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select all the meshes you want to group and launch the command.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> Usually, a mesh is a set of triangles with neighborhood relations. It is the reason why sometimes, when you create a 3D mesh or import an exploded mesh, several meshes can be created if the software does not find a path to link the different parts. In some cases, it can be useful to make a single mesh of several parts into a single entity:
> 
> - To export a single file made of many parts: for example you could create a single STL file with a hollow sphere (no path between inside and outside surface).
> - To calculate a [Best Fit Registration](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-bestfitregistrationc) considering many parts as the reference immobile object.
> - To Inspect considering many parts.
> 
> A compound mesh is a set of individual meshes having no relation together. You can see the number of parts that are inside a mesh using the command [Properties](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-propertiesc).
> 
> To recreate exploded parts from a compound mesh, you just need to select it and to use the command [Ungroup Mesh](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-ungroupmeshc).
