Hi all,
I was wondering how to get the B-Spline outer wire of a B-Spline surface from a TopoDS_Face.
I've tried using BRepTools::OuterWire on the face to get the outer trimming curves. I then convert the wire edges to Geom2d_Curve using BRep_Tool::CurveOnSurface then convert them to Geom2d_BSplineCurve using Geom2dConvert::CurveToBSplineCurve.
I convert the face to Geom_Surface using BRepBuilderAPI_NurbsConvert and BRepLib_FindSurface and then convert to Geom_BSplineSurface using GeomConvert::SurfaceToBSplineSurface.
The problem is that the trimming curves' NURBS data (i.e. poles, knots and weights) are wrong for the B-Spline surface. I have tried this on a very simple surface consisting of a circular surface from an IGES file.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help will be appreciated. :)
Thanks,
Mike
