+In this dialog:
+- Input or accept the default \b Name of the resulting shape. 
+- Click the arrow button and select in the Object Browser or in the Viewer the <b>Objects</b> to be fused.
+- Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> Detect Self-intersections </b>.
+- Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> remove extra edges </b>.
+- Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
+- Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).

+\note This algorithm does not find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
+      to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face
+      intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it
+      is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find
+      all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
+      "Detect Self-intersection tool".
