 +Make a note of these values, and pass them to ''​binvox''​ when voxelizing the heart:
 +<​code>​
 +# > binvox -d 128 -bb -0.768355 -0.313688 -0.034275 0.658711 0.407517 2.04301 heart.obj
 +</​code>​
 +
 +I will update ''​binvox''​ such that it prints these ''​-bb''​ parameters so they can be copied and pasted.
 +
 +Now both models have been voxelized such that they can be merged, and be the same relative size and in the same relative position.
 +
 +==== Merging the resulting binvox files ====
 +
 +For this, the ''​binvox_merge''​ tool was created. It takes two binvox files as input, and produces a single binvox file:
 +<​code>​
 +binvox_merge heart.binvox puppet.binvox -o puppet_with_heart.binvox
 +</​code>​
 +
 +''​binvox_merge''​ simply sets an output voxel to 1 if it is set in the first input file, and to 2 if it is set in the second input file.
 +
 +The output file is in the binvox **version 2** file format, which supports different values for a set voxel (in the range 1-255). ​
 +
 +-----
 +
 +**TODO**: some explanation/​options needed about what happens when a voxel is set in both input files
 +
 +-----
 +
 +==== Visualising the merged binvox file ====
 +
 +''​viewvox''​ (from version 0.51 onwards) supports viewing this new binvox version 2 file format.
 +
 +A useful new feature is the ability to toggle "point rendering"​ of each input component, using the number keys 1 through 9 (so in our example only keys 1 and 2 are useful).
