This patch turns off some not needed modes of fix in the called ShapeFix_Face algorithm.
It stores pcurves on planes in the edges to avoid repeated computation of the same pcurves many times (it is done only when SafeInputMode is false).
It avoids unnecessary replace/apply actions in the modification context.
It removes the code that makes decomposition of surface of the face on several faces.
The new command buildpcurvesonplane has been added, which builds and stores pcurves of edges on planar faces. This is useful for investigations how presence of pcurves on planes influence performance of algorithms.
Make drawing of dimension line in snowflake test independent on the order of vertices in the result.
1. The two new methods have been implemented:
a. BOPAlgo_Tools::EdgesToWires - allows creating planar wires from edges.
The input edges may be not shared, but the output wires will be sharing the coinciding vertices and edges.
It is possible to skip the sharing if the input edges are already shared by passing the corresponding flag into the method.
The input edges are expected to be planar, but the method does not check it. Thus, if the input edges are not planar, the output wires will also be not planar.
In general, the output wires will be non-manifold and may contain free vertices.
b. BOPAlgo_Tools::WiresToFaces - allows creating planar faces from the planar wires.
In general, the input wires are non-manifold and may be not closed, but should share the coinciding parts.
The wires located in the same plane and completely included into other wires will create holes in the faces built from bigger wires
These two methods combined allow building faces from set of edges randomly located in 3D space.
2. The DRAW command *edgestofaces* has been implemented.
3. The documentation has been updated with the new section in Modeling Algorithms - Topological Tools.
4. Test cases for the issue.
1. The result of Boolean operation on the arguments of collection type, containers WIRE/SHELL/COMPSOLID, is also a collection.
The containers of type WIRE included into result should now also (as the SHELLs) have coherent orientation of its sub-shapes.
For that the new method has been implemented (BOPTools_AlgoTools::OrientEdgesOnWire(TopoDS_Shape&)) which reorients edges for correct ordering.
The duplicating containers, i.e. containers with the contents completely included in other containers, are now avoided in the result of BOP.
2. The result of Fuse operation on Compsolids is now also will be Compsolid.
3. Documentation has been updated.
4. New test cases for the issue.
5. Adjusting test cases to current behavior.
Correction of test case bugs/modalg_4/bug726_2 according to the new behavior
1. Check, if edge is same-range, is now made with some tolerance (not strictly) in GeomLib_CheckCurveOnSurface class. Default value of this tolerance is Precision::PConfusion(). However, this value can be changed with corresponding interface.
2. DRAW-command "attachpcurve" has been added to BOPTest_UtilityCommands.cxx file. This command creates p-curve of given edge on given face. It can assign 2D-curve of one of the edge already included in the face or (if it is not possible) rebuilds new 2D-curve.
