Welding shell extruded models

[changrilla]

I think I've worked out why there have been so many saved views. If you have an object with some saved views and do a shell extrude>save extrusion then merge the saved extrusion back the saved views double. If you go through the same process again it doubles again. In this case the original file had 16 saved views which became 32 with one merge then 64 etc. Easy to see how the numbers could get as big as they were if extract merge is something you do a lot - I do. It doesn't have to be from the same object in the file. Create a new cube>shell extrude>save extrusion>merge and you very soon have 256 saved views. Is there any point in merging saved views? It's not something I've ever knowingly used so don't really know how useful it is to others.
