Problem Joining Mesh - please help

Hello,

I'm having a problem trying to do the simplest thing with two meshes. I have a mesh plane and a cylindrical type open mesh form. The mesh form was originally created by revolving a profile curve around an axis normal to the plane, then converting to a mesh.

I use the cylindrical form to split the plane, then attempt to join the form to the trimmed plane with the punched hole. The problem is that I still end up with two meshes, using either WbJoinMeshesAndWeld or MeshJoin. This becomes more apparent after using the wbLaplace component.

Could someone please explain the proper way to go about joining these two objects into a single mesh?

After wbJoinMeshesAndWeld: After Laplace:

two things...first your inputs to the wbJoin need to be flattened. if you take a look at their data structure, they are slightly different from one another, so wbJoin is treating them as two distinct lists. second, you need to tell wbJoin that you want it to weld the vertices after the meshes have been joined...so you need to feed a boolean value of True into the W input.
