  MODIFICATION:
  Following has been updated in documentation:
  Join:
  Select the option Join surfaces of the model if you
  want to join the surfaces of your IGES model into a
  shell.
  If this option is active, the software will try to knit
  the surfaces from an importable file into a shell,
  even if the file contains Groups (402), with the
  merging tolerance, i.e. the input file resolution
  (from field #19 of the file Global section), limited
  between the modeler tolerance and 100 x the
  modeler tolerance. The modeler tolerance depends
  on the current session scale.
