Use this interface to Remove faces and extend adjacent faces to fill the gap. This function can be used to: Automatically select all adjacent smooth faces, remove round corners, extend the adjacent faces and create sharp corners instead, remove holes, heal faces that were previously split, extend adjacent faces, and add cap faces.
