	; Dist : Set the boundary points search radius; you can select between pixels or real world units. Click the '''Dist''' button to turn on circles indicating this distance on all picked shells in the UV view, plus also any close boundary points will be highlighted with red and green dots. If no points are highlighted, then the shells are not close enough (or the distance too small) and so they will not snap together.		; Dist : Set the boundary points search radius; you can select between pixels or real world units.
