5 \b Fuse operation creates one shape from a list of shapes.
7 To produce it, select in the Main Menu <b>Operations - > Boolean - > Fuse</b>.
9 \image html bool1.png "Fuse dialog"
12 - Input or accept the default \b Name of the resulting shape.
13 - Click the arrow button and select in the Object Browser or in the Viewer the <b>Objects</b> to be fused.
14 - Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> Detect Self-intersections </b>.
15 - Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
16 - Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).
18 \note This algorithm does not find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
19 to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face
20 intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it
21 is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find
22 all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
23 "Detect Self-intersection tool".
25 This operation can be performed using a <b>TUI Command:</b>
27 <em>geompy.MakeFuseList(theShapesList, checkSelfInte)</em>
29 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + a list of shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
31 There is also a special <b>TUI Command</b> for \b Fuse operation on two shapes :
33 <em>geompy.MakeFuse(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)</em>
35 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.

48 Please, refer to <a href="SALOME_BOA_PA.pdf">this document</a> for a detailed description of Boolean operations.
50 It provides a general review of the Partition and Boolean
51 operations algorithms, describes the usage methodology and highlights
52 major limitations of these operations.
