Revision of User Guides
- Changes in User Guides Section to correspond with OCCT Overview structure: Mesh became a direct subsection of User Guides (it was a part of Modeling Algorithms).
TObj is included into OCAF.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Algorithms section: Fillets and Chamfers, Offsets, Drafts, Pipes and Evolved shapes, Sewing, Features, 3D Model Defeaturing, 3D Model Periodicity,
Object Modification are moved into The Topology API section.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Data section: Naming shapes, sub-shapes, their orientation and state section is renamed to Shape content. Shape Location is moved into Shape content section.
Storage of Shapes is moved into BRep Format section of Specification. Lists and Maps of Shapes subsection is moved into Topology - Exploration of Topological Data Structures.
- Some pictures in User Guides (Foundation Classes, Modeling Data, Modeling Algorithms) and Tutorial are updated to improve quality and correct mistakes.
Updated OCC logo.
Replaced some external links to https.
Added references to VS2019 support.
Added glTF, OBJ, IFC, JT into listing within appropriate sections.
Replaced dead URLs.
Fixed misleading information.
Add possibility of construction of the Optimal Oriented Bounding Box from set of points (the case of shape with triangulation).
The interface of the BRepBndLib::AddOBB method is not changed, but the option <theIsOptimal> now controls also the construction of the OBB from Set of points.
The slightly modified DiTo algorithm will be used, checking all possible axes created by the extreme points.
The performance of the construction of the Optimal OBB is lower but the quality is usually much higher (can't be worse by definition).
Test cases for the issue.
1. The class Bnd_OBB has been created to describe the Oriented Bounding Box.
2. Several key methods have been implemented: Bnd_OBB::IsOut(...), Bnd_OBB::Add(...) and Bnd_OBB::Enlarge(...).
3. Interface of Bnd_Box class has changed. New methods have been created. See Bnd_Box.hxx for detailed information.
4. BRepBndLib and Draw_Box classes have been amended in order to provide correct work with Bnd_OBB class.
5. Interface of "bounding" DRAW-command has been changed. Please see help for detailed information.
6. New DRAW-command "isbbinterf" has been created. Please see help for detailed information.
7. "boundingstr" and "optbounding" DRAW-commands have been eliminated because their function can be made by "bounding" DRAW-command (e.g. see tests/bugs/vis/buc60857 or samples/tcl/snowflake.tcl test cases).
8. Documentation has been updated.
The parameter defining image width has been added to all figures to improve their layout in PDF documents and tweaked depending on the nature of each image.
Additionally, some minor changes improving image and text layout have been introduced.
Remove temporary added possibility for setting image width automatically for generation of pdf documentation.
Updated destination directory for generated by gendoc proc pdf files.
Added additional option "-update_images_size" for gendoc procedure to update width of images in *.md files during pdf generation for @figure alias.
Documentation was updated to use alias @figure instead of outdated @image
Added support of svg image format in procedure OCCDoc_UpdateImagesSize.
Added generation of overview for product components.
Added generation of products refman/chm for each component.
1. There has been implemented calculation of all possible types of continuity for shared edges:
* G1 is set if tangential planes are the same for connected faces in each control points through the edge;
* C1 is set in addition to G1 conditions if derivatives, orthogonal to the edge on each face, are equal vectors;
* G2 is set in addition to G1 if the centers of principal curvatures are the same for connected faces in each control points through the edge;
* C2 is set in addition to C1 and G2 if directions of principal curvatures are equal;
* CN continuity is set only if both connected faces are based on elementary surfaces (the conditions for this case are similar to C2 continuity).
2. ShapeFix::EncodeRegularity() is merged into BRepLib::EncodeRegularity().
3. Implemented several test cases to check correct handling of regularity.
4. Fix incorrect usage of BRepLib::EncodeRegularity() in BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing.
5. Implement a method for calculation of regularity on the given list of edges.
6. Documentation updates
- Added new static methods Read and Write in BinTools class to store/retrieve a shape in binary format.
- Added new draw commands "binsave" and "binrestore"
- Added test cases to test the new methods.
- Updated documantation with desription of the new BinTools class methods and corresponding BRepTools class methods.
Technical docs are reviewed to:
* update references to page with third-party products
* update description of persistence, handles, and RTTI according to changes in OCCT 7.0
* remove references to CDL, WOK, and WOK-generated stuff
* update the list of environment variables
- m-dashes added.
- some other cases of incorrect dash use fixed
- unicode dashes were removed throughout the documentation.
- other comments taken into account.
Fix for bug 23640.
Merging the rest of Technical Overview content into User's Guides.
-Correct UG sections concerning Sewing.
-Correct comments in the code referring to old location of sewing algorithm.
Command gendoc improved to:
- generate Reference Manual documentation (OCCT classes reference) with option -refman; option -overview can be used for generation of overview documentation;
- generate PDF documents for all User Guides automatically (for files listed in FILES_PDF.txt);
- check availability of third-party tools (Doxygen, Inkscape etc.) and properly report warnings and errors.
- use templates of configuration files for third-party tools instead of their generation. These template files are located in dox/resources folder
Tcl scripts are moved from dox folder to adm.
Doxygen warnings are eliminated.
Moved all auxilary functions to occaux.tcl.
Fixed Reference manual generation on *nix platform.
Fixed PDF generation on *nix platforms.

Overview installation and requirements changes updated
OCCT documentation (Overview and User Guides) has been converted from MS Word files to text-based MarkDown format and added to OCCT sources, in the new subfolder 'dox'. The HTML and PDF articles can be generated from the sources using Doxygen and MiKTeX. See the file OCCT_Docs_HowTo.md for details on the new documentation system.
This branch includes:
- new folder structure for Open CASCADE documentation
- sources of almost all OCCT User Guides and Overview
- tcl and bat scripts, which allow to generate HTML and PDF articles
