Plug Creation

The Create Plug tool is used to create a complete plug from one or multiple mesh objects.

Every plug consists of exactly one plug mesh and one plug handle.
Optionally, there can be any number of secondaray subset mesh objects.

Selection

In object mode, select one or multiple mesh objeects. The active (last selected) object will become the plug mesh, any additional objects will become plug subets.
The Create Plug tool will then create the plug handle from the plug mesh, but only in part.
You will have to finish the plug handle yourself, taking care to create roughly even topology and to avoid ngons.
