Weld Threshold

Specifies the maximum distance, in scene units, within which selected sub-objects will be welded.

Any vertex or edge that lies outside this threshold (that is, it's farther than this from the nearest vertex or edge) will not be welded.

Before/After

Shows the number of vertices before and after the weld.

The After quantity updates dynamically as you change the setting.
