HI;

How to use adaptor3d_surface to get type and equation of surface.

i would like to know the type(plan,cylinder,sphère,bspline, bezier...) and the equation of surface (geometric surface of the face expolred from shape).

i used the adaptor3d_Surface but i not understand the thèorie of this method.

can you help me for this i needed for my project.
i need an exemple for what i do that.

think you .................think you

You can do as follows to detect the type :

TopoDS_Face FaceElement1=TopoDS::Face(ShapeElement1);
BRepAdaptor_Surface FaceElementAdaptor1(FaceElement1,Standard_True);
GeomAbs_SurfaceType theTypeElement1=FaceElementAdaptor1.GetType();

if(theTypeElement1==GeomAbs_Torus) cout<<"torus"<
