The two parts of the model have been drawn. Now they must be joined so that the
final volume may be created and a mesh of the volume may be generated.

The T junction appears. Bear in mind that the lines which define the end of the
first pipe (background) of the T junction, and which have been imported, were
already present in the first file. Notice that the lines overlap. This
overlapping will be remedied by collapsing the lines.
