I would like to create a shell from 2 faces.
One face was created with BRepOffsetAPI_ThruSections, the other one with BRepOffsetAPI_MakeFilling using an edge from the first face and an additional edge.
Unfortunately, sewing the 2 faces returns a compound, not a shell, even if I sew with high tolerance.
Does anybody have an idea why?
How can I get a shell from these faces?
If I simply create the shell manually with TopoDS_Builder and add the two faces, the shell is not valid because the faces are not connected. So, it seems that the result of BRepOffsetAPI_MakeFilling does not contain the given bounding edges but creates new edges.
I append a brep-file with the compound of the two faces.
Thanks,
Timo

The problem does not occur if I use BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing with the non manifold processing parameter set to false.
