What is the significance of tolerance value in Share tool?

[Charudatta Bandgar]

Hello Rahul,

Tolerance in Share Topology defines how close faces or bodies must be to be treated as connected.

• Low tolerance → only perfectly touching or very close bodies are shared
• High tolerance → even bodies with small gaps are forced to share
• If the gap is larger than tolerance, they won’t share

So, increasing tolerance helps close small gaps, but too high can create unwanted connections.
