How can I get the two faces along an edge? It is a surprise that there is no such function in OCC to query the faces along an edge. Does anybody have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance...

To my knowledge, there is no single function. You can search through all the faces until you find your edge and build a list or call the following code to build a list of all edges and their faces:

TopTools_IndexedDataMapOfShapeListOfShape myEdgeFaceMap;
TopExp::MapShapesAndAncestors(myShape, TopAbs_EDGE, TopAbs_FACE, myEdgeFaceMap);
