The new command is contextual to a selection of edges, available in the right-click context menu, from within the Edit menu, and available as a shortcut as well. In 2020.2, Weld Edges is a native capability for SketchUp users as well. Looking forward, we hope to see this improve the performance for individual extensions.

If you aren't aware, extension developers previously had to do some wacky stuff to perform a weld operation. In 2020.1, we introduced API functionality to weld edges in SketchUp. Some changes are straightforward enough-Weld!-while others are new concepts to explore in SketchUp and LayOut.

In SketchUp Pro 2020.2, we are introducing some improvements based on longstanding user feedback.
