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 the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> remove extra edges </b>.
16 - Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
17 - Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).
19 \note This algorithm does not find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
20 to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face
21 intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it
22 is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find
23 all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
24 "Detect Self-intersection tool".
26 This operation can be performed using a <b>TUI Command:</b>
28 <em>geompy.MakeFuseList(theShapesList, checkSelfInte, rmExtraEdges)</em>
30 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + a list of shapes + an optional flag for
31 self-intersection check + an optional flag to remove extra edges.
33 There is also a special <b>TUI Command</b> for \b Fuse operation on two shapes :
35 <em>geompy.MakeFuse(s1, s2, checkSelfInte, rmExtraEdges)</em>
37 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection
38 check + an optional flag to remove extra edges.

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