BRepPrimAPI_MakeCylinder aBuilder(100.0, 50.0);
aBuilder.Build();
if (!aBuilder.IsDone()) { Error }

TopoDS_Face aFace = aBuilder.Face();
...
STEPControl_Writer aWriter;
if (aWriter.Transfer (aFace, STEPControl_AsIs) != IFSelect_RetDone) { Error }
if (aWriter.Write ("cylinder.stp") != IFSelect_RetDone) { Error }

Thank you very much. I overdid it myself, I started using gp_Cylinder, convert to Surface etc. Everything turned out to be much simpler.
