-The following property panel will be opened:
+- **Objects** - contains a list of objects selected in the Object Browser or in the Viewer, which will be fused with tool objects.
+ If a subshape that belongs to a compsolid/compound was selected, other shapes of this compsolid/compound will be ignored.
+- **Remove intersection edges** - if enabled, edges that lie on the same surface will be removed.
+- **See preview** - button shows a result of the operation.
