To find the components of the TopoDS_Compound comp

for (TopoDS_Iterator ext(comp); ext.More(); ext.Next())
{
TopoDS_Shape shape = ext.Value();
...
}

Hi marco
Thanks for your help!!!
if I don't sew the compound ,this methode works perfectly. But when I tried to retrieve the components after sewing this compound, it doesn't work. I think that because the methode sewing has changed the components.
Anyone kown how to do in this case??

Thanks a lot
