How did you build this linework? Using live paint? In that case expand it and apply the Pathfinder Merge

I made this figure using the rectangle tool. I tried the pathfinder merge but that doesn't work -- it either deletes some of the rectangles or says it didn't merge anything -- I've attached an example of the figure. thanks a ton!

 are all still live strokes. What you could do: Outline the strokes and then select all and use the pathfinder Merge
