Hi everyone,
I'm trying to sew faces to make solid(s).
It works fine when I sew, for example, the six faces of a cube, with BRepOffsetAPI_Sewing.
And I make a solid from the closed shell it returns, by using BRepBuilderAPI_MakeSolid.
Everything ok for one solid.
But when I try to do the same for two cubes who share one face ( overall 11 faces ) the sewing algorithm returns two unclosed shells because the shared faces is neither in the first one nor in the second.
How should I do to obtain 2 closed shells from my 2 cubes who share 1 face ?
Regards,
Guillaume.

I guess it means I should find something by myself.

Hello
I want to create a solid from a given surface by appying thickness to it
I've written the folllowing code...but its not giving the desired output
its not entering the code
BRepBuilderAPI_MakeSolid brep_solid(TopoDS::Shell(shell));
------------------------
BRepOffsetAPI_MakeOffsetShape offset(myshape1, offset, 1.0E-06, BRepOffset_Skin,
Standard_False, Standard_False, GeomAbs_Arc);
BRepOffsetAPI_Sewing(1.0e-06, Standard_True);
BRepOffsetAPI_Sewing sew;
sew.Add(myshape1);
sew.Perform();
TopoDS_Shape shell = sew.SewedShape();
BRepBuilderAPI_MakeSolid brep_solid(TopoDS::Shell(shell));
TopoDS_Solid top_solid = brep_solid.Solid();
------------------------------------------
please suggest what can be done
regards

Hello Chenthil,
maybe you should try to use BRepOffsetAPI_MakeThickSolid, but you would have to add some faces before to close your shell.
best regards
