Hi,
What is the reasoning behind allowing a tolerance of ModelAbsoluteTolerance * 2.1
in pythons JoinSurfaces method? Is this the tolerance for the Join command as well?
I ask because I’m scripting the Brep.MergeCoplanarFaces(tolerance)
method and want to set a tolerance in order for it to work as expected based on tolerance settings.
Do I best set a tolerance multiplied by 2.1 as well? Brep.MergeCoplanarFaces (ModelAbsoluteTolerance * 2.1)
Thanks
