I have several bitcoin addresses in a QT wallet but want to spend from 1 only

[mr_random]

I have 3 addresses with large amounts of Bitcoin, that all belong in the same wallet.

On the rich list they appear as 3 different addresses.

I want to spend Bitcoin from my wallet. Can I force the QT wallet to make it look like the Bitcoin I send comes from only one of those 3 addresses?

The addresses hold roughly equal amounts.

Thanks.

Not unless you transfer the funds to a single address first.

If you mean make it spend from the 3 addresses and "camouflage" it so that it looks like from one, that is impossible.
If you mean send from 1, I think that is, but I dunno how bitcoin-qt works.

As long as the amount you want to send is less than the amount in one of the addresses then Bitcoin Core should only send the coins from one address.  If you want to control which address is used you should search "coin control".

Yes.  In the bitcoin-core client (QT) you need to enable coin control first and then you can select which outputs on which address you want to spend by clicking on [Inputs].
