1. Correct unification of circular edges: avoid trying to make an axis with null magnitude.
2. New method UnionPCurves: unify existing pcurves of chain instead of projecting the curve of unified edge onto surfaces
BRepLib::ExtendFace method when working with analytical and periodic faces now takes into account the possible closeness of the result face.
Test cases for the issue.
Implementation of the mechanism for unification of the history commands for all OCCT algorithms.
The following Draw commands should be used to track the history of shapes modifications of any operation:
- modified - to find the shapes modified from the given shape in the given history.
- generated - to find the shapes generated from the given shape in the given history.
- isdeleted - to check if the given shape has been deleted during operation.
The mechanism allows fast & easy enabling of the DRAW history support for the algorithms supporting the history on the API level (i.e. the algorithm should have the methods Modified(), Generated() and IsDeleted()).
To enable the draw history support it is necessary to store the history of the algorithm into the session. For instance:
TopTools_ListOfShape Objects = ...; // Objects
TopTools_ListOfShape Tools = ...; // Tools
BRepAlgoAPI_Cut aCut(Objects, Tools); // Boolean cut operation
BRepTest_Objects::SetHistory(Objects, aCut); // Store the history for the Objects (overwrites the history in the session)
BRepTest_Objects::AddHistory(Tools, aCut); // Add the history for the Tools
To get the stored history in draw the command "savehistory" should be used. It saves the history kept in session into a Drawable object with the given name:
# perform cut
bcut r s1 s2
# save history of cut
savehistory cut_history
explode s1 f
modified m cut_history s1_1
The Draw History commands of the following algorithms have been removed:
- Boolean Operations;
- Defeaturing;
- Unify same domain;
- Sweep;
- Thrusections;
All these algorithms have been switched to support the new Draw history mechanism.
The Fillet and Blend algorithms have been also enabled to support history commands.
Implementation of the 3D model De-featuring algorithm intended for the removal of the unwanted parts (or features) from the model consisting of solids. The features can be the holes, protrusions, gaps, chamfers, fillets etc.
The algorithm removes all possible requested features from the shape and builds the new shape as a result. The input model is not modified.
On the API level the algorithm is implemented in the class *BRepAlgoAPI_Defeaturing*. The actual features removal is performed by the low-level algorithm *BOPAlgo_RemoveFeatures*.
Documentation of the new classes.
Implementation of the DRAW commands for working with new algorithm.
Test cases for the new functionality.
Changes in other algorithms used by De-featuring algorithm:
- Provide history support for the solids in *ShapeUpgrade_UnifySameDomain* algorithm;
- Implementation of the mechanism to merge History of any Algorithm with standard history methods such as IsDeleted(), Modified() and Generated() into *BRepTools_History*.
