\b Sewing operation allows uniting several faces (possibly contained
in a shell, solid or compound) into one shell while geometrically
in a shell, solid or compound) into one shell. Geometrically
coincident (within a specified tolerance) edges (or parts of edges) of
different faces are replaced by one edge thus producing a shell of
faces with shared boundaries.<p>
This operation is similar to <b>New Entity - > Build - > Shell</b>
operation, the difference is that with \b Sewing you can specify the
tolerance and can get a non-manifold result. <p>
Possibility to create a non-manifold shell can be used e.g. to create a
tolerance and get a non-manifold result. <p>
The possibility to create a non-manifold shell can be used e.g. to create a
shell forming several closed domains and then to create several solids
with shared boundaries from this shell.
