Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part (also works with Part inside Product or Process)

Joins selected surfaces into a single surface without checking for connexity. The result is created as a datum (isolated). Use this script when you need to join surfaces that are not physically connected or when CATIA's standard join refuses due to gaps.

For joining curves see Join Explicit No Connect Curve.
For joining a mix of curves and surfaces see Join Explicit No Connect.

1. Open a CATPart document (or Product/Process containing a part) with surfaces
2. Run the script
3. Select at least two surfaces to join — click OK when done
4. The joined surface is created as a datum in the current in-work geometric set

• Result is named Join_Explicit_Surface.N where N is an incrementing number
• Result is a datum (isolated) — no parametric link to the source geometry
• If the in-work object is not a geometric set, a new one named New Join Explicit is created
