8 Sewing feature unites several faces (possibly contained in a shell, solid or compound)
9 into one shell. Geometrically coincident (within a specified tolerance) edges (or parts
10 of edges) of different faces are replaced by one edge thus producing a shell or faces
11 with shared boundaries.
13 To perform the Sewing in the active part:
15 #. select in the Main Menu *Features - > Sewing* item or
16 #. click |sewing_btn.icon| **Sewing** button in the toolbar
18 The following property panel will be opened:
20 .. figure:: images/Sewing.png
27 - **Objects** contains a list of objects selected in the Object Browser or in the Viewer, which will be sewn.
28 - **Tolerance** defines the tolerance to use for the Sewing operation.
29 - **Allow Non-Manifold** allows to create non-manifold shapes, if checked.
30 - **Always create a result** allows to always create a result shape, even if there was nothing sewn.
34 .. py:function:: model.addSewing(Part_doc, objects, tolerance, allowNonManifold, createResult)
36 :param part: The current part object.
37 :param list: A list of objects.
38 :param real: The tolerance value to be used for the sewing.
39 :param boolean: Defines whether to allow non-manifold results.
40 :param boolean: Defines whether to always create a result.
41 :return: Created object.
46 The Result of the operation will be a shape with all coincident edges being united:
