Weld

The Weld tool is a tool that uses a Gaussian blur to add on mass to a surface in a way similar to how using a welding machine with filament would add mass to an area. It can be used to make seams between harsh edges or to flare out the land mass from an existing area onto a flat surface in a seamless blend. It uses the active block to determine what blocks to place. It is partially configured using the brush settings and has a few more settings that change the algorithm in specific ways.

The Smoothing strength can be adjusted to make smoother welds, a higher smoothing setting means that the tool will need a lower threshold to operate as they constrain each other. Generally a higher smoothing strength will also increase the size of the affected area.

The Smoothing threshold can be adjusted to make it harder for the tool to affect a given area. This makes it possible to constrain the tool in a way that helps to create more natural flares and seams into existing builds.
