Glue Edges


To Glue Edges in the Main Menu select Repair - > Glue Edges.


This operation glues edges that are coincident with respect to the given tolerance value.


Arguments: Name + Compound of shapes + Tolerance value.
Advanced option: Set presentation parameters and sub-shapes from arguments.
The Result will be a GEOM_Object.

TUI Command:
geompy.MakeGlueEdges(theShape,theTolerance),
where theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, and theTolerance is a maximum distance between two faces/edges, which can be considered as coincident.


It is also possible to manually select the edges that will be glued - select the shape, specify the tolerance and press Detect button.

Geometry module detects the edges where gluing can be performed and displays a notification.

The edges that can be glued are colored in red. It is possible to select the edges for gluing in the 3D viewer. The selected edges will be marked in white.


TUI Command:
geompy.GetGlueEdges(theShape,theTolerance),
where theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, theTolerance is a maximum distance between two edges, which can be considered as coincident. The Result will be a list of GEOM_Objects, containing one sub-shape per each detected set of coincident sub-shapes.


geompy.MakeGlueEdgesByList(theShape,theTolerance,theEdges),
where theShape is a compound of shapes to be glued, theTolerance is a maximum distance between two edges, which can be considered as coincident, theEdges is a list of sub-shapes to be glued.
