Merge By Distance Improvements

Adding the option to limit merging by Group ID and also Boundary Edges.

So often the node is being used to just stitch the edges of meshes together (extrusion to original to create manifold etc). Also when merging geometries that need to be handled individually such as wooden planks or similar. Screenshot 2025-11-30 at 13.29.38.png

Selection and Group ID would be essential features on Merge.

But I think that the Boundary would be a bit out of line with other nodes. You can do that easily with Selection. And if Merge would have Boundary option, then, should it be added to other nodes too? Like Mesh to Curves, where Boundary selection is a common workflow.

what tools did you use to make this nice node mockup? i'd like to improve my own suggestions with similar mockups

Just a node group

I was thinking the same recently! Seems like an obvious thing that's missing!
