[Qgis-user] Merge feature toll

[Richard Greenwood]

The "Merge Selected Features" tool does not alter the geometries. I takes
two or more geometries and combines them into a new single "multi"
geometry. For example of you have two features in your layer that are two
separate records and you merge them you'll now have just one record for
that feature. Maybe you have a highway with two separated lanes and
you want to both lanes show as separate lines but in the data you only want
one record, then you would use the "Merge Selected Features" tool.
