The merged face count no longer joins faces across a Split Face line, and Offset Face's same-surface grouping stops there. A piece whose move the body's topology cannot follow (its neighbour stays put) is swept along its normal and joined on or cut in, giving walls along the split line as in Fusion. Engine test: a split box top counts 7 faces; one half up 5 (27000 mm³), the other down 3 (25200 mm³).
