\page glue_faces_operation_page Glue Faces
\n To <b>Glue Faces</b> in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>Repair - > Glue Faces</b>.
\n This operation glues faces that are coincident with respect to the
given tolerance value.
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + Compound of shapes + Tolerance value.
\n <b>Advanced option:</b>
\ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".
\n The \b Result will be a \b GEOM_Object.

\n <b>TUI Commands:</b>
\n <em>geompy.MakeGlueFaces(theShape,theTolerance,doKeepNonSolids)</em>,
\n where \em theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, \em
theTolerance is a maximum distance between two faces, which can
be considered as coincident. The \em doKeepNonSolids flag allows to
throw away non-solids from the result, if false. The \b Result will
be a new \b GEOM_Object.
\n It is also possible to manually select the faces that will be
glued - select the shape, specify the tolerance and press \b Detect button.

\n \b Geometry module detects the faces where gluing can be
performed and displays a notification.

\n The faces that can be glued are colored in red. It is
possible to select the faces for gluing in the 3D viewer.
The selected faces will be marked in white.
\n When the faces are glued their edges are glued as well. By default, other
edges are not glued. To force gluing of all edges, check <b>Glue all coincident edges</b>
checkbox.
\n <b>TUI Commands:</b>
\n <em>geompy.GetGlueFaces(theShape,theTolerance)</em>,
\n where \em theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, \em
theTolerance is a maximum distance between two faces, which can
be considered as coincident. The \b Result will be a list of \b
GEOM_Objects, containing one sub shape per each detected set of
coincident sub shapes.
\n <em>geompy.MakeGlueFacesByList(theShape,theTolerance,theFaces,doKeepNonSolids,doGlueAllEdges)</em>,
\n where \em theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, \em
theTolerance is a maximum distance between two faces, which can
be considered as coincident, \em theFaces is a list of
subshapes to be glued. The \em doKeepNonSolids flag allows to throw
away non-solids from the result, if false. The \em doGlueAllEdges
allows to glue all edges, not only owned by glued faces. The \b
Result will be a new \b GEOM_Object.
