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

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