Implementation of the new class *BOPAlgo_MakePeriodic* for making the shape periodic in 3D space.
Periodicity of the shape means that the shape can be repeated in any periodic direction any number of times without creation of the new geometry or splits.
The idea of this algorithm is to make the shape look similarly on the opposite sides or on the period bounds of periodic directions.
It does not mean that the opposite sides of the shape will be mirrored. It just means the the opposite sides of the shape should be split by each other and obtain the same geometry on opposite sides.
Such approach will allow repeating the shape, i.e. translating the copy of a shape on the period, without creation of new geometry because there will be no coinciding parts of different dimension.
Draw commands for the new algorithm:
* makeperiodic - makes the shape periodic in required directions;
* repeatshape - repeats the periodic shape in requested periodic direction;
* periodictwins - returns the periodic twins for the shape;
* clearrepetitions - clears all previous repetitions of the periodic shape.
Documentation & test cases for the algorithm.
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.
1.The algorithm searching the section in the corner (ChooseSection) is modified to be able to find simple cases with rather big tolerance.
2. The constructor of BRepFill_Section is modified: now it removes locations in the shape of section like it was done in BRepFill_Pipe.
3. Correction of U-edges by Same Parameter has been added to the method BRepFill_Sweep::Build.
Boolean operations - Allow repeated intersection of edges to find the coinciding pairs.
Previously, only the edges rejected by bounding boxes classification has been additionally checked on coincidence. The current patch removes this filter allowing all edges with coinciding vertices to be checked on coincidence.
Adjustment of the test cases for current behavior:
1. The following cases are improvements:
boolean volumemaker A8
bugs modalg_1 buc60703_1
bugs modalg_1 buc60703_2
bugs modalg_1 buc60703_4
bugs modalg_6 bug26789_1
bugs modalg_6 bug26789_2
bugs modalg_7 bug26883_4
bugs modalg_7 bug27948
2. bugs modalg_7 bug29580_1 is modified to extend the validity checks.
Boolean Operation - avoid creation of INTERNAL solid from unclassified faces in Solid Builder algorithm.
Instead warn the user that some of the faces have been unclassified and not used for solids creation.
Adjustment of the test cases.
Test cases for the issue.
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*;
- Correction of the ElCLib::CircleParameter().
1. Implementation of the *Generated* method for the algorithms in Boolean Component.
In terms of these algorithms the shape from the arguments can have Generated shapes only if these new shapes have been obtained as a result of pure intersection (not overlapping) of this shape with any other shapes from arguments.
Thus, the Generated shapes are always:
* VERTICES created from the intersection points and may be Generated from edges and faces only;
* EDGES created from the intersection edges and may be Generated from faces only.
So, only EDGES and FACES could have information about Generated shapes. For all other types of shapes the list of Generated shapes will be empty.
2. Optimization and simplification of the Modified and IsDeleted methods based on the correct filling of the BOPAlgo_BuilderShape::myImagesResult map.
3. Provide history of unification of the solids in the CellsBuilder algorithm.
4. Update of the documentation of Boolean Operations User guide with new chapter "History Information" describing rules for filling history for operations in Boolean Component.
5. Test cases for the issue. New grid "history" has been added into "boolean" category.
Prevent modification of the input shapes in destructive mode in case their sub-shapes have not been modified:
1. Prevent edge splitting for the pave blocks with old vertices if it is possible to use the existing edge (*BOPAlgo_PaveFiller::MakeSplitEdges*);
2. Prevent creation of the new containers (WIRES/SHELLS/COMPSOLIDS) if non of its parts have been modified (*BOPAlgo_Builder::FillImagesContainer*);
3. Prevent creation of the new face if non of its wires have been modified (*BOPAlgo_Builder::FillImagesFaces*);
4. If possible, use the original face to be the representative for the group of SD faces (*BOPAlgo_Builder::FillSameDomainFaces*).
Cosmetic changes:
1. Documentation of the *BOPAlgo_Builder* class.
2. Making simple methods of the *BOPAlgo_Builder* class inline.
3. Getting rid of the *BOPAlgo_Builder::mySplits* field as it is excessive. *BOPAlgo_Builder::myImages* can be used instead.
3. Moving the Check Inverted option from *BOPAlgo_Options* to *BOPAlgo_Builder*.
Test cases for the issue.
Adjustment of the test case to their current behavior.
Test case *blend/complex/H2* has been deleted as duplicate of the test case *blend/simple/Z1*.
1. Implementation of the user-defined option for usage of Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB) in Boolean Operations for additional filtering (rejection) of selected for intersection pairs of sub-shapes.
By default the usage of OBB is turned off.
To enable/disable its usage the method SetUseOBB(flag) should be used. This method is available for all operations in Boolean Component.
To enable/disable it in draw the command "buseobb 0/1" should be used. Note, that this will affect all subsequent operations.
The OBB for the shapes are built by first necessity and stored into operation context (IntTools_Context).
2. Usage of the OBB in some test cases.
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.
Standard_CLocaleSentry does not include xlocale.h when using glibc anymore.
HAVE_XLOCALE_H has been renamed to OCCT_CLOCALE_POSIX2008 to avoid confusion.
Renamed macros OCC_CHECK_BASE_CLASS -> OCCT_CHECK_BASE_CLASS.
Disable additional intersection of the splits of offset faces implemented in method BRepOffset_MakeOffset::Intersection3D() for the mode "Complete" and join type "Intersection".
This method is insufficient, as it does not allow to detect the tangential faces, necessary for this mode.
Intersection is performed in the method BuildShellsCompleteInter() developed for this mode.
1. Unify the faces classification procedure of the methods BOPAlgo_BuilderSolid::PerformInternalShapes() and BOPAlgo_Builder::FillIn3DParts() using the latter as a base.
The new method BOPAlgo_Tools::ClassifyFaces() has been created for that. Both methods mentioned above have been updated to use the new one.
2. Forced intersection of the edges after enlarge of the tolerance values of their vertices during the operation has been added into BOP's intersection algorithm (BOPAlgo_PaveFiller).
BOPAlgo_Tools::PerformCommonBlocks() method has been updated to avoid loosing faces of the already created Common blocks.
As a result the case "boolean gdml_private ZF6" became more stable, because the intermediate result is no longer invalid.
Additional test cases have been added to verify this improvement (bugs modalg_7 bug29322_*)
3. When building PCurves for edges on faces, check the existing PCurves on its validity for periodic surfaces and adjust PCurves if necessary.
The improvement helps to produce the valid result in the test case "bugs moddata_1 bug152".
4. Avoid creation of empty Edge-Edge interference if the intersection point is lying close to a shared vertex.
The improvement helps obtain the valid result of the "bopcheck" operation in the test case "bugs modalg_7 bug27683".
Adjustment of the test case to current behavior:
- Avoid usage of the self-intersecting torus in the test case "boolean gdml_public A9".
- Fix the input shape in the test case "boolean bopfuse_complex H1" to provide valid result.
- Test cases "bugs moddata_1 bug152_1 bug152_2" have been unified into single test case "bugs moddata_1 bug152". Now, the case rebuilds invalid input data and performs all types of Boolean operations.
- Change the test case "bugs modalg_7 bug22750" to produce valid intermediate results used in subsequent operations as arguments.
- The following test cases are improvements:
- "boolean volumemaker D8"
- "boolean volumemaker G1"
- "bugs modalg_7 bug27683"
Make the algorithm BRepOffsetAPI_NormalProjection use section operation instead of common to get the edge-result of projection to be in face restrictions.
Correct Boolean operation algorithm to produce correctly oriented result in the case of common between face and edge.
The algorithm ShapeUpgrade_UnifySameDomain has been patched to correctly gather same domain faces in a compound.
The TCL script snowflake.tcl has been corrected to get rid of dependence on the order of edges in the result of Boolean operation.
Data races have been prevented in the code of BOPAlgo_PaveFiller that makes pcurves of edges on faces. For that:
- Put into treatment only unique edge-face pairs.
- If the same edge is treated with different faces in different threads simultaneously this also causes data races. To avoid this make the edge's copy in each thread and update the copy. The original edge is updated only after finishing parallel processing.
The new method BOPTools_AlgoTools::CopyEdge has been added to make a copy of an edge with vertices.
Big screenshot in the test script tests/bugs/modalg_7/bug28200 has been replaced with a small one.
Boolean Operations:
1. Face/Face intersection post treatment - Unify vertices put on the section curves, which were rejected as existing ones, with the vertices of edges by which these section curves have been rejected.
2. Extend Warnings Reporting system of Boolean operations with the new warnings:
- BOPAlgo_AlertIntersectionOfPairOfShapesFailed - to be added when the intersection of pair of sub-shapes of the arguments has failed;
- BOPAlgo_AlertBuildingPCurveFailed - to be added when the building of the 2D curve of the edge on face has failed;
- BOPAlgo_AlertAcquiredSelfIntersection - to be added when the positioning and tolerances of the arguments leads to creation of self-interfered shapes.
These new warnings allow completing the operation even if intersection of some of the sub-shapes or building of some of the PCurves has failed. Moreover, they allow getting the pairs of sub-shapes on which the intersection/projection has failed, providing the user ability to analyze the intersection results.
Note that if some of these warnings appear, the result of the operation should be carefully analyzed for validity.
3. Print messages for the Warnings/Errors met during checking of the shape on self-intersection ("bopcheck" command).
Improve performance of Boolean operations algorithm by:
- Improving the check of Same Domain faces (BOPAlgo_Builder::FillSameDomainFaces());
- Faster rejection of outer faces for solids using Bounding Box classification first (BOPAlgo_Builder::FillIn3DParts());
- Using IncAllocator for local containers.
Quality improvement has been made in BOPAlgo_PaveFiller class:
1. Method IsExistingPaveBlock() has been corrected to provide the correct edge tolerance and to obtain valid intermediate results in the test case "boolean gdml_private ZH3".
New test case have been added to verify this improvement (bugs modalg_7 bug29301).
2. Method PutClosingPaveOnCurve() has been corrected to use the tolerance of the pave put on the bound for checking curve on closeness.
Additional check for the curve to have valid range after addition of the pave on the other end has been added to prevent considering the small curves (covered by vertex tolerance) as closed ones.
As a result of this modification the test case boolean gdml_public B2 has been fixed (TODO removed).
Adjustment of the test cases to current behavior:
- boolean bopcommon_complex J1 - the produced result was incorrect as it was self-interfered. There should be no common in this case.
- offset shape_type_i_c ZZ1 - the incorrect result is now produced instead of null shape.
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.
While building splits of faces (BOPAlgo_Builder::FillImagesFaces()) make sure that the orientation of the input face will be passed to its splits.
Extend draw command "normals" with new key "[-print]" which allows printing values of the normal vector.
Test cases for the issue.
In order to improve performance of Boolean Operations on the relatively fast cases the following improvements have been made:
1. Initialization of the FaceInfo information for the faces participating in Face/Face interference, even when the gluing is ON, to take into account intersection of their sub-shapes.
2. Code simplification & duplication removal - the methods BOPAlgo_ShellSplitter::MakeConnexityBlocks and BOPAlgo_WireSplitter::MakeConnexityBlocks have been unified into BOPTools_AlgoTools::MakeConnexityBlocks.
3. Avoid unnecessary bounding box computation for solids during DS initialization. The bounding boxes for solids will be computed during the building stage to find faces located inside solids.
For the shape self-interference check (performed by the BOPAlgo_CheckerSI), the bounding box is still computed, as it is necessary to resolve Shape/Solid intersections.
4. Use only three sample points to check coincidence of line and plane.
5. Perform necessity of planes intersection only when the gluing is off.
6. Avoid repeated initialization of 2D classifier while building splits of the faces.
7. Post treat stage:
7.1. Method CorrectWires: Save edge's data (PCurve, parameter of the vertex, range) to avoid its recalculation.
7.2. Method CheckEdge: While checking vertices on edges avoid unnecessary calculation of their location.
8. Provide possibility to disable the classification of the input solids on the inverted status (to be the holes in the space).
9. Avoid building of bounding boxes for faces/solids during splitting of the input arguments for their classification relatively hole faces/shells if there are no holes created.
10. Avoid rebuilding of the faces/solids from arguments which does not acquire any inside parts from other arguments during the operation by using their draft versions as their splits.
Test cases for the issue.
Correction of the test cases boolean gdml_public A9 and bugs modalg_7 bug28485 as they are improvements.
Additional test case for the issue #28485 as it is fixed by the current changes.
The following improvements have been made in the 3D offset algorithm for mode "Complete" and Join type "Intersection":
- RemoveInsideFaces() - Removal of the invalid parts outside of the solids built from the splits of offset faces is now performed. It helps to avoid their rebuilding and speed-up the computation.
- FindVerticesToAvoid() - Strengthening the criteria for the vertices to be avoided in the new splits.
Test cases for the issue.
Adjustment of the test cases to current behavior.
UpdateValidEdges in BRepOffset_MakeOffset_1 - Perform the filtering of splits of the edges in two stages:
1. Separate filtering of the connected blocks using localized bounding edges taken only from the splits of offset faces from the block;
2. Combined treatment of the remaining splits using bounding edges from the splits of all offset faces.
Documentation is added in a new "Inspector" page of "User Guides".
Inspector plugins has some improvements by the documentation needs.
New DRAW scripts are implemented for 'tinspector' command.

- Visual Studio 2017 is mentioned among supported compilers
Simple offset algorithm (BRepOffset_MakeSimpleOffset) is improved to handle the case when bspline surface has imprecise singularity at one of sides (when side is degenerated but not exactly to one point).
In such case, the algorithm tries to collapse all poles of singular side of the surface to the same point; this allows avoiding flapping of normal due to small fluctuations of surface.
If face being offset contains degenerated edges, then check for singularity is done using position and tolerance of corresponding vertices.
In addition, each side is checked with some user-defined tolerance (by default Precision::Confusion()); this helps to process cases when no edge is located at that side or if such edge is not encoded as degenerated.
New parameter Tolerance is introduced for that in BRepOffset_MakeSimpleOffset class.
Tests added:
bugs modelg_7 bug28968 - on isolated faces as reported in the issue, mostly for visual check (absence of loops)
offset simple F01-05 - on original shells, checking tolerances of resulting shell
1. A tool to annotate items in the hierarchical product structure was added. The tool is located under
fixed label 0:1:9. It operates two basic entities: notes and annotations located under 0:1:9:1 and 0:1:9:2
hives correspondingly. A note is an attribute derived from base class XCAFDoc_Note that is attached to a separate
label under the notes hive. An annotated item is represented by XCAFDoc_AssemblyItemRef attribute
attached to a separate label under the annotated items hive. Notes are linked to annotated items by means of
XCAFDoc_GraphNode attribute, where notes play parent roles and annotated items - child roles.
2. XCAFDoc_AssemblyItemRef defines a weak reference to a label with optional attribute GUID or sub-shape index.
3. A capability to store note/annotation labels in XCAFDoc_ViewTool was added.
4. XDE User guide was updated
Tests are added to control output and performance of progress indicator (bugs fclasses bug28478 and perf fclasses progress, respectively).
Implementation of class Draw_ProgressIndicator is improved to update indicator basing on achieved total progress (1% by default) instead of elapsed time since last update.
Method OSD_Chronometer::Restart() is fixed to actually reset the counter.
DRAW command readstl is improved to show progress indicator if configured (by command XProgress).
Description of class Message_ProgressIndicator is updated; code example is added in description of Message_ProgressSentry.
Synchronization of the ShapeAnalysis_Edge behavior with the BRepCheck_Edge by adding check for 2d curves on planes.
Implementation of the BRep_Tool::CurveOnPlane method to avoid code duplication for making PCurve of the edge on planar face.
Handling of degenerated points (with all derivatives zero) in GeomEvaluator_OffsetSurface is improved by iterative movement towards middle of the surface (extension of one-step approach implemented earlier in #28112).
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray::Render() - removed obsolete code, which become redundant (and broken)
after moving rendering of transparent objects into OpenGl_LayerList::renderTransparent().
Upgrade Guide is updated to describe:
- Removal of typedefs to double in Quantity and V3d
- Removal of support of orientation in classes BRepTools_ReShape and ShapeBuild_ReShape
- Removal of AIS methods taking/returning Quantity_NameOfColor instead of Quantity_Color
- Removal of active texture state from OpenGl_Workspace
