Worked: probably never

Short description of error
Certain walls do not get merged properly (see image)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Please find the file attached:

1.) add default cube
2.) add array modifier, use merge
3.) add Lineart

I think this can be observed even without the modifier (or if you apply the modifier).

Think the way the Edge Crease edges are detected have way for improvement, @ChengduLittleA ?

@lichtwerk thanks for testing.

I don't think this is a fault of lineart. As you can see in example, the bottom edges are are gone, which is what I would expect with others too.
Desired result of the merge would be an equevalent of extruding from a plane 3 times in this example.

Take a look at this exploding commieblock:

Ideally with having X,Y,Z arrays I'd be able to merge and get rid of those lines, but on mesh level this would mean getting rid of planes also.

Testing with just planes, I see edge merge is working correctly (one array has merge on, the other off):

So I guess this is technically not a bug but more of a feature request?

I took some notes... We could potentially have an automatic handling of such cases.

After a discussion with @ZedDB we concluded it's best not to "guess" what the real topology is, a good example would be a shape like this with internal faces:

It would be impossible to automatically determine what is the real face that the user want, it's best to keep the input clean.
