1. The CellsBuilder algorithm has been extended to work with multi-dimensional arguments.
It has become possible not only simulate Boolean expressions, but also perform non-supported
Boolean operations, like cutting face from solid, or fusing face with edge.
2. Test cases with multi-dimensional input shapes have been created.
3. Documentation has been updated.
1. The partition operation allows splitting an arbitrary number of shapes of an arbitrary dimension
by other arbitrary shapes. The algorithm has been implemented in the class BOPAlgo_Splitter.
The API operator Splitter has been implemented in the class BRepAlgoAPI_Splitter.
2. The draw commands for usage the new algorithm have been implemented - bsplit and bapisplit.
The commands are identical, but one uses the BOPAlgo_Splitter, the other uses BRepAlgoAPI_Splitter.
Both commands should be used after Pave Filler is filled.
3. Test cases for the new algorithm.
4. Documentation has been updated.
Small corrections.
1. The possibility to prevent addition of internal parts has been added into the following algorithms:
- BOPAlgo_BuilderFace;
- BOPAlgo_BuilderSolid;
- BOPAlgo_MakerVolume.
Setting the option to avoid internal parts for MakerVolume algorithm guarantees that the result solids
will be manifold and not contain any internal parts. But it does not prevent from occurrence
of the internal edges or vertices in the faces.
2. The Set/Get methods of the BOPAlgo_BuilderArea class have been made inline.
3. Draw command mkvolume has been updated to take into account the new option.
4. BRepOffset_MakeOffset::BuildShellsCompleteInter() has been modified to use the new option of BOPAlgo_MakerVolume
to speed up the construction of the final result solid.
5. Documentation has been updated with new section dedicated to BOPAlgo_MakerVolume algorithm.
6. Test case for the issue.
The Gluing operation is an additional option for the algorithms in the Boolean Component
such as General Fuse, Boolean operations, Section operation, Maker Volume and Cells Builder algorithms.
The Gluing options have been designed to speed up the computation of the interference among arguments of the operations on special cases,
in which the arguments may be overlapping but do not have real intersections between their sub-shapes.
This option cannot be used on the shapes having real intersections, like intersection vertex between edges,
or intersection vertex between edge and a face or intersection line between faces.
The Gluing option is an enumeration implemented in BOPAlgo_GlueEnum.hxx. There are following items in the enum:
* BOPAlgo_GlueOff - default value for the algorithms, Gluing is switched off;
* BOPAlgo_GlueShift - Glue option for shapes with partial coincidence;
* BOPAlgo_GlueFull - Glue option for shapes with full coincidence.
For setting the Gluing options for the algorithm it is just necessary to call the SetGlue(BOPAlgo_GlueEnum) method with appropriate Glue value.
For using this option in DRAW the command bglue has been implemented:
* 0 - default value, Gluing is off;
* 1 - for partial coincidence;
* 2 - for full coincidence
Elimination of the warnings.
The map to protect the result of Boolean operation from duplicating parts in containers has been removed (method void BOPAlgo_BOP::BuildShape()).
The results of Boolean operations on containers will be the following:
1. For the arguments of collection type (WIRE, SHELL, COMPSOLID) containing overlapping parts the overlapping parts
passed into result will be repeated for each container from the input shapes containing such parts.
2. The result of the operation Fuse for the arguments of collection type (WIRE, SHELL, COMPSOLID) will contain
the same number of containers as the arguments. The overlapping parts (EDGES/FACES/SOLIDS) will be shared among them.
For example, the result of Fuse operation between two wires will be two wires sharing coinciding edges if any.
3. The result of the operation Common for the arguments of collection type (WIRE, SHELL, COMPSOLID) will consist
of the containers containing the same overlapping parts. For example, the result of Common operation between two
fully/partially overlapping wires will be two wires containing the same edges.
Style correction.
Added test case bugs/modalg_1/bug13538
Modified boolean test cases according to new begavior
Changed the rules for the types of the arguments for different operations:
1. FUSE: All arguments and tools should have the same dimension;
2. CUT: The MAXIMAL dimension of the ARGUMENTS should be less
or equal to the MINIMAL dimension of the TOOLS;
3. CUT21: The MINIMAL dimension of ARGUMENTS should be grater
or equal to the MAXIMAL dimension of the TOOLS;
4. COMMON: The arguments and tools could have any dimensions.
For the arguments of collection type (WIRE, SHELL, COMPSOLID)
the type will be passed into the result of the operation.
The documentation should be updated according to new behavior.
Documentation has been updated.
Implemented suggestions by MSV and some grammar changes.
