Can you please post the .3dm model file with the edges you are referring to here that won't merge?

Currently boolean union can remove edges in the combined object in 2 cases - when they are planes that are coplanar, and when the 2 faces have the same full underlying surface.

It doesn't currently know how to combine 2 side-by-side extrusions into one extrusion but that is something that I want to add.
