- Feature snapping tolerance factor
- Change feature snapping tolerance factor of fuse threshold value, within which the nodes positions resulting after the fusing of source and target elements can be snapped to features.
- Feature angle
- The maximum allowable break angle between adjacent elements.
- Fuse free edges only
- Fuse only free edges of the selected source and target.
- Bridge gaps
- Consider creating bridge elements between source and target.
- Projection type
- Select a type of projection from source to target.
- Remove target tails
- Consider to delete tails or small faces formed at the target after fusing source to target.
- Remove target tails tolerance factor
- Change the tolerance factor of fuse threshold value within which, if the width of the tail of the target tail face lies, it is removed.
