In DM, I used the "Fill" tool to fill a cavity. But now I'd like to merge the newly filled cavity with the surrounding body. Is this possible? If so, any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

Just wanted to add that I've tried Body Operations -> Sew, but it doesnt let me choose the two bodies.
Thanks again!

Okay, solved my problem. I used "Unfreeze" and selected the bodies. Got rid of all boundary lines :)
However, if there is a more preffered method, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.
