Joining Sliced Geometry

Mistro11

I made a Gothic window that I want to shorten in height. I did not want to remodel so I used Zorro2 Beta plugin. The slice worked good but I am having trouble figuring out how to join the geometry so I can erase (heal)the lines going through the middle without destroying the model. I even tried exploding the component and still the 2 halves will not join. If I do 3 clicks after joining, the 2 halves act independently. Is it possible to join geometry to be as one after performing a slice operation? Any help is appreciated.

Window after using Zorro2 Beta and erasing the middle part

Joined but not as one unit. Note the thick middle line.

Press Ctrl key while using the Eraser Tool

Thanks sdmitch but it's not working. I can erase the vertical lines without destruction but that horizontal line will not budge. It highlights but nothing gets erased. Perhaps there's a better way to slice?

The style you are using makes it difficult to tell if the bottom edges of the top section and the top edges of the bottom are in the same place. You could try selecting all of the geometry and running an Intersect Faces. Then try deleting the horizontals.

Check your PMs, too.

Thank you Dave for your help. Turns out Zorro2 was not even necessary. Your suggestion to simply select the top part of the model and move it down worked like a charm.
