Ring Wizard

Under the Drawing tab with the Ring Wizard tool we

can define our ring’s rim, in this case with 1,5mm

height and 4mm width. It’s important to know the ring size

for further operations.

1 Rectangle

The next step, under the Drawing tab, with the Rec-

tangle tool in the top view to create a cut section.

In the commands line we should activate the options

center and rounded.

2

Extrude

Now, under the Modelling tab, we can use the Ex-

trude tool to create a solid from the curve created

previously, it's important to make the extrusion in the top

direction and above the ring’s rim.

3 Boolean Difference

Then, still under the Modelling tab we can run the

Boolean Difference tool to remove the cut section

from our ring.

4

Diamond Ring

In this tutorial we will try out a few more useful commands in

RhinoGold. Very powerful tools as Ring Wizard, Gem Studio,

Text On Curve and Boolean Operations.


Gem Studio

Now, under the Jewellery tab with the Gem Studio

tool we can create a Gem according to our needs,

in this case with 2,3mm diameter.

5 Cutter Studio

The next step is to define a cutter for the Gem. For

this, still under the Jewellery tab with the Cutter Stu-

dio tool, we should select the gem and define the para-

meters.

6

Boolean Operations

Now it’s time to remove the cutter from the ring, for

this, under the Modelling tab run the Boolean Diffe-

rence tool and complete the process.

7 Text On Curve

Then, under the Drawing tab with the Text On Curve

tool, select the curve who defines the ring size and

adjust all the parameters as needed. The result shoud be

a solid for each letter. To create this curve, the Gauge

option can be used, or to create a section in the central

part of the ring.

8

Boolean Difference

The final step to finish this ring is to remove the letters

from the ring to create the engraved section. For

this, use once again the Boolean Difference tool under

the Modelling tab.

9


Ring Wizard

Under the Jewellery tab run the Ring Wizard tool

and start by selecting the ring size, in this case is the

number 18 from European measures, then choose the

pretended profile and define the measures. In this case is

10mm width and 1,5mm height.

1 Fillet

Now we can create a fillet to break sharp edges.

Under the Modelling tab run the Fillet command

and define the angle, in this ring is 1mm.

2

Texture 3D

The last step is under the Artistics tab, choose the

Texture 3D tool and start by selecting the surface to

apply the texture, then choose the pretended effect and

define all the parameters acording to the desirable result.

In this case is with 0,4mm height.

3

Ring With Texture

In this tutorial we will try out some of the most useful com-

mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Ring Wizard and Tex-

ture 3D.


Ring Size Creator

Under the Jewellery tab, with the Gauge tool, we

can choose our ring size. In this case it is the number

16 from European standard measures. The result is a circle

with our desired diameter.

1 Gem Studio

Still under the Jewellery tab we can use the Gem

Studio tool to create a Gem, in this case with 5mm

diameter. It’s important to leave about 1mm distance

from the ring size as the above image. The grid can be a

great visual aid.

2

Trim

Now, we will create a line with the command line in

the Drawing tab, about 7mm from the center. Next,

we can cut the circle with the Trim command.

3 Curve / Auto Connect

With the Curve command (Drawing), we can make

the red curve. Pressing the command we can acti-

vate the Start Tangent option and then click at the end

of the arc. Once we have the curve, we can use the

command symmetry horizontal to create the other curve.

When done, use the command Auto Connect to join.

4

Extrude Ring


mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Gem Studio, Ring Size

Creator and Bend Deformation.


Offset

Now, still under the Drawing tab, with the Offset

tool, in the front view, to create an outside curve, in

this case with a 1,5mm distance.

5 Blend

Then we should select the curves and run the Blend

tool, under the Drawing tab, to define the ring’s top

section. Then run the Auto Connect command to unite all

the curves in a single one.

6

Extrude

After defined the previous parameters, we need to

Extrude the curves to create a solid. For that, run the

Extrude command under the Modelling tab, in this case

with 2,5mm for both sides. The Cap option must be acti-

vated.

7 Taper Deformation

Now from the Right viewport, we can stretch forth

the bottom with the Taper tool. The concept is very

simple, the first two points are on the axis of symmetry, the

following item (3) is the reference distance, and finally (4)

what we want to strengthen. Do not forget to activate

the Flat option.

8

Tube

With the command Tube (Modelling), we will create

a tube. First select an origin point of the plane (you

can type 0 and press Enter). 2.5mm outer radius, inner

radius 1.5mm and 1mm thick. Use the Gumball transfor-

mer to position the tube under the gem.

9 Boolean Union

The final step, in the Modelling tab, with the Boo-

lean Union tool, we can unite both parts in a closed

solid.

10


Ring Wizard

Under the Jewellery tab run the Ring Wizard tool

and start by selecting the ring size, in this case is the

number 16 from European measures, then choose the

pretended profile and define the measures. In this case is

6mm width and 1,5mm height.

1 Ring Wizard

Move the previous ring anywhere else and repeat

the process again with other profile and measures.

We can activate the tickness option and define the value

to remove the interior.

2

Ring Wizard

Repeat the previous steps but with different para-

meters, the idea is to explore this powerful tool and

be aware of its potentialities.

3

Basic Rings

In this tutorial we will try out one of the most useful com-

mands in RhinoGold. A powerful tool called Ring Wizard.


Ring Size Creator





1 Gem Studio

To create a gem, under the Jewellery tab, we can

define the desired shape, measures, weight and

material, following the standard types. With the option

pick point, we place the gem acording to our needs and

the result, in this case, is a 6mm diamond.

2

Bezel Studio

In this tool, still from the Jewellery tab, we start by

selecting the gem to apply a besel around and

then we define the multiple parameters from this option,

which can be completely customized. In this example

enabling the divisions with a curve from the library.

3 Ring wizard

Now is time to create a rim to our solitaire. Run the

wizard and choose the profile from the library, or

create a new one and define the multiple parameters

available in this powerful tool. Don’t forget to select the

same ring size choosen in the first step.

4

Solitaire

In this tutorial we will try out some of the most common com-

mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Gem Studio, Bezel

Studio and Ring Wizard.


Auto Cut

Now in the Modelling tab, run the Auto Cut tool,

select the curve created to define the ring size in

the first step and use it to cut the besel exceeds in form to

respect the ring size.

5 Gem Cutter

Back to Jewellery tab, select the gem created in

the second step and use it as a reference to make

a cutter, in order to retire the rim exceeds. For that, run

the Cutter Studio and define the parameters acording

the proposed objective.

6

Boolean difference

Back to the Modelling tab, select the boolean tool

and choose the boolean difference option, select

the first group which in this case is the rim and the second

one is the cutter created in the previous step. Preview

and confirm the results.

7 Boolean union

The last step is to make the union between the two

objects, the rim and the besel. For that, run the boo-

lean tool again but in this case choose the boolean union

option, select both objects, preview and aprove the ope-

ration. Now the ring is ready as just one part.

8


Ring Size Creator





1 Text On Curve

Now we can create a text to apply on the circle

created previously. Under the Drawing tab with the

Text on Curve tool we can define all the parameters as

the above image.

2

Ring Wizard

Back to the Jewellery tab, with the Ring Wizard tool

we can define our ring’s rim. In this case is important

to maintain the same size as the one given in the first step

(16 from European measures) and adjust all the parame-

ters as needed, in this case with 2,75mm width and 1mm

height.

3 Polyline / Boolean Operations

Now, under the Drawing tab with the Polyline tool

we can create a curve to cut the rim in the text

section. After defined the curve we should use the Auto

Cut tool to remove the rim’s exceeds. Then, under the

Modelling tab with the Boolean Union tool to unite all the

parts in a single solid.

4

Text Ring


mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Ring Wizard, Text on

Curve and Boolean Operations.


Ring Size Creator





1 Gem Studio

Now with the Gem Studio tool, under the Jewellery

tab, we can create a gem according to our needs,

in this case is a sapphire with 12mm diameter. With the

pick point option, we place the gem aproximately 1mm

above the ring size created previously.

2

Arc: Start, Point on Arc, End

Under the Drawing tab we can choose the tool Arc:

Start, Point on Arc, End and in the top view define it

with the Snap option activated. In this case 2,5mm length

and 3mm heigth.

3 Mirror / Auto Connect

Now we can select the Arc and under the Trans-

form Tab, with the Mirror Horizontal tool we create

our pretended profile. Then, under the Drawing menu,

choose the Auto Connect tool to join both sides as one

single object.

4

Two Arms Ring


RhinoGold. Very powerful tools as Ring Wizard, Boolean Ope-

rations, Gem Studio and Head Studio.

Back to Jewellery tab, under the Ring Wizard we

choose the tool Add Profile, then we select the

open curve and we give it a name to be saved in our

profiles library.

5 Ring wizard

Now is time to create a rim to our ring. Run the Ring-

Wizard and choose the profile created in the pre-

vious step from the library, define 3mm width and 2mm

height, then click on the points 11, 1 and 12. Now we can

change the 12 profile position for example 4mm.

6

Mirror: Symmetry Vertical

In the Top View we select the rim and under the

Transform tab, we choose the Mirror: Symmetry Ver-

tical. Now our rim is completed.

7 Head Studio

With this tool from the Jewellery tab, we start by

selecting the gem to apply the prongs around and

then we define the multiple parameters from this com-

mand, which can be completely customized. In this case

we still using trinangular profiles. See the help of Rhino-

Gold if you want to know this tool deeply.

8

Boolean Union

After defined all the Head Studio parameters the

elements are a group, so we need to unite them as

well as the rim in a single object. For that, it’s only neces-

sary a Boolean Union which is under the Modelling tab.

We define it as an option because this operation is not

necessary in the latest generation of RP machines.

9


Celtic Knots Studio

Under the Artistics tab, with the Celtic Knots tool, we

can create our own pattern. It’s just a left click on

the pretended square on the left side and then select the

pretended effect from the ones available on the right

and so forth. Then define the style to be applied and pick

the point on the grid to place the object.

1 Scale

Under the Transform tab with the several scales

commands available, We can use for example the

Scale by Dimension. Select the object to scale, click the

padlock to keep proportion, and set in X 40mm. Do not

forget to activate Delete Original, and then click OK.

2

Join

Now, with the Join tool under the Drawing tab we

can unite all the different parts in a closed solid. Be

patient, this calculation is complex and may take a few

seconds.

Then, under the Jewellery tab, with the Ring Wizard

tool we can create our ring’s rim. Define all the

command parameters following the pretended results.

8

Polyline / Auto Cut

The next step, under the Drawing tab with the Polyli-

ne tool, we can define the section where to cut the

ring’s rim. This should be a closed curve. Then, select the

curve and run the Auto Cut tool, under the Modelling tab

to extract the rim’s exceeds.

9 Auto Cut / Boolean Operations

The final steps, in the Modelling tab, with the Auto

Cut tool again, but this time to extract the exceeds

from the ring’s head, for this, use the curve who defines

the ring size. Then with the Boolean Union tool we can

unite both parts in a closed solid.

10


Ring Size Creator





1 Gem Studio

Now with the Gem Studio tool, under the Jewellery

tab, we can create a gem acording to our needs,

in this case is a diamond with 2,5mm diameter. With the

pick point option, we place the gem aproximately 1mm

above the ring size created previously.

2

Head Studio

With this tool from the Jewellery tab, we start by

selecting the gem to apply the prongs around and

then we define the multiple parameters from this com-

mand, which can be completely customized.

In this tutorial we will try out a few more commands in Rhino-

Gold. Very useful tools as Ring Size Creator, Gem Studio,

Head Studio and Dynamic Polar Array.


Dynamic Polar Array

Now under the Transform tab, with the Dynamic

Polar Array, we select the gem and the prongs,

then in the front view can be defined the angle and the

number of copies, in this case is a complete turn so choo-

se 360º degrees and the necessary number of elements

for repetition. Then justify the array to the correct axis.

5 Boolean Union

In this stage it’s the moment to transform all the

metal elements in a single object, our ring, for that,

we use again the Boolean Union tool under the Modelling

tab, the same process as the step number 4.

6

Auto Cut

In the Modelling tab, run the Auto Cut tool, select

the curve created in the first step to define the ring

size and use it to cut the ring exceeds, in form to respect

the choosen ring size. After this the ring is ready.

7


Arc: Start, End, Point on Arc

The first step to do this Overlapping Ring consists in

create a profile, under the Drawing tab with the

tool Arc: Start, End, Point on Arc we can define our sec-

tion, in this case 4mm height and 2 mm width.

1 Mirror: Symmetry Horizontal

The next step is to complete our profile section, un-

der the Transform tab with the Mirror: Symmetry Ho-

rinzontal command to create the other side of our profile.

2

Fillet / Auto Connect

To finish our profile, under the Drawing tab, we use

the Fillet tool to create a round angle between the

two Arcs, then run the Auto Connect tool to join all the

curves in a single one.

3 Add Profile

Now under the Jewellery tab run the Add Profile

tool and select the open curve created in the pre-

vious steps. Give it a name and from now on it will be

available in the profiles library.

4

Overlapping Ring


RhinoGold. Very powerful tools as Ring Wizard and Boolean

Operations.


Ring Wizard

In this stage we need to use the Ring Wizard under

the Jewellery tab. Select the profile created pre-

viously and define 3.50mm width by 1.75mm height. Click

the point (10) and (2). In the profile 10, change the posi-

tion to 4mm, and in the profile 2, change the position to -

4mm. Choose the size 16 from European measures.

5 Ring Wizard (once again)

The next step to complete our ring is to repeat the

Ring Wizard tool, this time with different parameters

acording to our needs. Choose the size 17 from European

measures, considering that the desired size is 18.

6

Boolean Operations

Now it’s time to unite both parts in a single object,

for that, under the Modelling tab run the Boolean

Union tool and select both parts.

7 Ring size Creator

Then under the Jewellery tab with the Gauge tool

select the desired ring size, in this case is 18 from

European measures. It will be created curve with the pre-

tended diameter.

8

Auto Cut

To finish the ring use the Auto Cut command under

the Modelling tab and select the ring and the curve

created in the previos steps. This function will cut the ring

to the pretended size.

9


Circle

Under the Drawing tab, with the Circle tool, we can

create our circunference in the top view, in this

case with 35mm diameter.

1 Dynamic Profile

Then, with the Dynamic Profile tool under the Jewe-

llery tab we can define our section and its parame-

ters to be applied on the circle. You can define a size of 3

mm in width and 1.6 height. It can reduce weight activa-

ting the thickness to 0.7mm.

2

Text Object

Under the Drawing tab, with the Text tool, we can

create the text to insert in this pendant. There are a

few parameters to be defined as the pretended results.

Select Solid with 5mm Height and 3mm thickness. Choose

the font that you like. It can adjust the size with the Gum-

ball.

3 Polygon: Star

Still under the Drawing tab we can make a star to

apply in our pendant, in this case with the Polygon:

Star tool as the above image.

4

Text Pendant

dio and Boolean Operations.


Extrude

In this step select the star created before and with

the Extrude tool, under the Modelling tab, to make

a solid from it, select BothSides=No and Cap=Yes then

define the height as desired.

5 Gem Studio

Now, under the Jewellery Tab with the Gem Studio

tool to create a gem to apply in the star with the

insert on surface option, in this case with 2,5mm diameter.

6

Cutter Studio / Boolean Difference

In this stage, select the Gem created in the previous

step and with the Cutter Studio tool under the Je-

wellery tab to make a cutter adjusted to it but if needed

we can define the parameters. Then remove the Cutter

from the Star with the Boolean Difference tool under the

Modelling tab.

7 Torus / Boolean Union

Now we can make a Torus with this tool from the

Modelling tab, we should define the parameters,

following the pretended results. Then we can select all

the parts and make Boolean Union, still under the Mode-

lling tab, to unite them in a single object.

8

Ellipse

In the Drawing tab, with the Ellipse tool in the right

view to create a curve to define the pendant bail.

9 Dynamic Profile

Then, under the Jewellery tab, with the Dynamic

Profile tool to define the parameters of the pendant

bail as needed. You must define two sections as shown in

the image.

10


Ring Size Creator





1 Extrude

Then, under the Modelling tab we can use the Extru-

de tool to create a surface from the curve. The ex-

trusion value is indifferent because this object is only to

support the next step.

2

Channel

Now, under the Jewellery tab with the Channel tool,

we can create our ring using the curve and the

surface as reference and then it’s only define all the pa-

rameters as needed.

3 Box

Then, under the Modelling tab with the Box tool we

can make an object to cut the inside part of the

ring. It’s important to use the several views to place the

object exactly where is needed.

4

Channel Ring


mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Channel, Ring Size

Creator, Polar Array and Boolean Operations.


Polar Array

Now, under the Transform tab with the Polar Array

tool we can multiply the box created previously

around the inside part of the ring. It’s important to multiply

exactly the same number of gems.


At this stage we can remove the boxes from the

ring, for this we should use the Boolean Difference

tool under the Modelling tab.

6

Polyline

Now, we need to create a section for the gems

inside the ring, for this it’s necessary to create a pro-

file which can be done with Polyline under the Drawing

tab, the place must be the intersection between the

gems and the channel.

7 Revol / Mirror

Now we can select the curve and run the Revol tool

under the Modelling tab to create the section

around the ring. Then make a Mirror of this section to the

other side under the Transform tab.

8

Boolean Difference

The last step is to remove the sections created pre-

viously from the ring, for this we should use the Boo-

lean Difference tool under the Modelling tab.

9

NOTE: We can remove the steps 4 to 9, using the Cutter Studio tool, but we believe it is more appropriate as we have shown

in the exercise.


Ring Wizard

Under the Jewellery tab, with the Ring Wizard tool,

we can define our ring’s structure as the pretended

effect. In this case it is the number 16 from European stan-

dard measures. Define a narrow section at the bottom,

then click on profile 12, and change the width and

height.

1 Arc

Then, under the Drawing tab with the Arc tool to

create a curve as the above image.

2

Extrude

Now, under the Modelling tab with the Extrude tool,

we can create a surface using the curve as referen-

ce. It’s important that the curve make a complete inter-

section with the ring.

3 Dynamic Polar Array

Then, under the Transform tab with the Dynamic

Polar Array tool we can make a circular duplication

of the surface as many times as needed.

4

Wire Ring


mands in RhinoGold. Powerful tools as Ring Wizard, Multiple

Pipe and Boolean Operations.


Extract Surface

Now, under the Modelling tab with the Extract Sur-

face tool we can Split the ring created previously in

two surfaces, then we can delete the inside one because

we only gonna need the other as support to the next

step.

5 Intersection

At this stage we can create the curves around the

ring, for this we should use the Intersec tool under

the Modelling tab and select all the surfaces. We no lon-

ger need the extruded surfaces, select them and delete

them.

6

Duplicate Border

Now, we need to create another section for the

ring, which can be done with Duplicate Border un-

der the Modeling tab, for that, select the ring surface as

the above image.

7 Multiple Pipe

Now we can select all the curves and run the Multi-

ple Pipe tool under the Modelling tab to create the

wires around each curve with the pretended measures.

8


Then we can select the inside ones in the top view

and make a mirror, for this, we can use the Symme-

try Horizontal tool under the Transform tab.

9 Boolean Union


lean Union tool, we can unite all the parts in a clo-

sed solid.

10


Arc

Under the Drawing tab we can choose the tool Arc

and in the front view define it with the Snap option

activated as in the above picture.

1 Dynamic Profile

Now, under the Jewellery tab with the Dynamic

Profile tool select the arc and define all the para-

meters to create the hoops according to our needs. We

recommend to use the section of the image.

2

Gems by Two Curves

Still in the Jewellery tab, run the Gems by Two Cur-

ves tool and define the parameters to place the

gems around the hoop. Select the inner edges, and click

Preview.

Difference tool to finish the process.

9 Head Studio

Now, under the Jewellery tab, we choose the Head

Studio tool to define the prongs for the central gem.

10


Prong Studio

Under the Jewellery Tab with the Prong Studio tool,

we can apply the prongs to the gems, it’s just need

to define the parameters as pretended.

11 Cutter Studio / Boolean Operations

Now, still under the Jewellery Tab we will use the

Cutter Studio tool to make the gems cutters, then,

with the Boolean Difference tool to remove them from

the ring’s head. To finish the ring, we just need to select all

the parts and with the Boolean Union tool to unite them

all in a single object.

12


Ring Wizard


we can make our ring defining all the a greater

thickness at the top.

1 Smart Curve

Now under the Drawing tab we can use the Smart

Curve tool in the right view to create a curve that

will define the pave section, it’s important to activate the

symetry option.

2

Extract Surface

Then we can copy the surface under the Modelling

tab, with the Extract Surface tool and with the copy

option activated to duplicate the ring’s outside surface.

3 Trim

Now, under the Drawing tab with the Trim tool we

can remove the part of the surface we don’t need

and keep the other side to create the pave section.

4

Pave Ring



Pave Automatic and Prong Studio.


Offset Surface

In this step we can create a solid with the Offset

Surface tool under the Modelling tab and define

the parameters, in this case is 0,5mm for both sides.


Now still under the Modelling Tab we can use the

Boolean Difference tool to remove the solid crea-

ted previously from the ring and the pave section is crea-

ted.

6

Pave Automatic

In this stage, we can place the Gems in the ring’s

pave section with the Pave Automatic tool under

the Jewellery tab. If needed we also can use the Pave

Dynamic to adjust some positions independently.

7 Cutter Studio

Now we can select the Gems and with the Cutter

Studio tool still from the Jewellery tab to create the

cutters for each gem.

8

Boolean Difference

In the Modelling tab, with the Boolean Difference

tool to remove the cutters from the ring.

9 Prong Studio / Boolean Union

Now, under the Jewellery tab, we can choose the

Prong Studio tool to define the prongs for each gem

and if needed we can also use the Dynamic prong to

adjust some positions independently. Then, with the Boo-

lean Union tool under the Modelling tab to unite all the

parts in a single closed solid.

10


Smart Curve

Under the Drawing tab, with the Smart Curve tool,

we can create our heart in the top view. In this case

it is only half.


In this step select the curve created before and

under the Transform tab use the Mirror: Symmetry

Horizontal tool to create the same effect in both sides.

Then use the Auto Connect tool to unite the curves.

2

Ring Size Creator





3 Arc: Start, End, Point on arc


Arc and, in the front view, define it. Then, if needed,

we can adjust it with the Edit Points tool. Repeat the cur-

ve to the other side with the Mirror tool.

4

Heart Ring



Operations, Surface Network and Pave Automatic.


Smart Curve

In this step select the Smart Curve tool, under the

Drawing tab and in the right view define this section

of the ring, remenber to make two curves, one for each

side.

5 Arc: Start, End, Point on Arc

Now under the Drawing Tab we will use the Arc:

Start, End, Point tool to define the intermediate sec-

tion of the ring then, the same to the other side and with

the Auto Connect tool to unite both sides.

6

Network Surface

In this stage, use the Surface Network tool under the

Modelling tab to make the surface of the ring.

7 Cap

Now we can select the surface created before and

with the Cap tool from the Modelling tab, we can

create the top surface.

8

Extrude

In the Modelling tab, select the circle and with the

extrude tool define a solid larger than the ring sec-

tion. This object will be used in the next steps.

9 Offset

Then, under the Drawing tab, choose the Offset tool

to define the Pave section. In this case is with

0,8mm. Repeat this process again but with 0,4mm in the

Offset distance, this intermediate curve will be used in the

last steps.

10


Extrude

Under the Modelling Tab with the Extrude tool, we

can create the Pave section, for this, we give an

extrusion distance of 0,5mm.

11 Boolean Dynamic

Now, under the Modelling Tab we will use the Boo-

lean Dynamic tool to create our ring, select the

Boolean Difference option and remove the heart (Pave

Section) and the circle extrusion (Ring Size) from the clo-

sed solid created previously.

12

Pave Automatic

In the Jewellery tab, choose the Pave Automatic

tool to place the gems according to our needs, in

this case with 1,5mm diameter.

13 Prong Studio

Under the Jewellery tab, select the Gems created

before and define all the parameters of the prongs

to apply. After this, if needed, use the Dynamic Prong tool

to adjust some missing prongs.

14

Sphere

Now we can create a Sphere in the center (0,0,0)

under the Modelling tab with the Sphere tool, in this

case with 0,8mm diameter.

15 Dynamic Array

Then, still under the Modelling tab, choose the Dy-

namic Array tool to multiply the Sphere along the

intermediate heart curve created previously.

16


Cutter Studio

Under the Jewellery Tab with the Cutter tool, we

can select all the Gems and define all the parame-

ters to create the cutters for them.

17 Boolean Dynamic

Now, under the Modelling Tab we will use the Boo-

lean Dynamic tool to create our ring, first, select the

Boolean Difference option and remove the Cutters from

the ring, then select all the parts and with the same tool,

unite them as a single object.
