Hi there,
Here is a newbie question regarding making wires in OpenCascade: How can you make a closed wire out of a set of non-sequenced but connected edges using BRepBuilderAPI_MakeWire() or a similar function ?
For instance, the following form a closed wire:
Edge1
Edge2
Edge3
Edge4
Edge5
but how could you make a wire in OpenCascade given the sequence:
Edge5
Edge1
Edge3
Edge2
Edge4
which might not necessarily be in order of their connecting vertices. I have found the following posting which hints at a solution:

I am wondering if there is a more efficitent and elgant solution.
Your help is much apprecitated.
Thanks,
Mat

Hello
U can try using this classes ( part of a
working code ).
Good luck
- Prasad
------------------------------------------------
Handle(ShapeExtend_WireData) theData = new ShapeExtend_WireData();
for( .... no . of edges )
{
theData->Add(aEdge);
}
ShapeFix_Wire fixWire;
fixWire.Load(theData);
cout << " No. of edges = " << fixWire.NbEdges() << endl;
fixWire.Perform();
fixWire.FixReorder();
fixWire.FixConnected();
TopoDS_Wire aWire = fixWire.WireAPIMake();
------------------------------------------------

Worked like a charm - thank you Prasad !
The only other thing I needed to do was to close the wire by calling ClosedWireMode() before Peform():
ShapeFix.ClosedWireMode();
ShapeFix.Perform();
Cheers,
Mat
