Sweep surfaces Sweep surfaces are constructed using a spine and a profile that moves along it. Here is a screenshots of a typical sweep surfaces:The sweep surface is constructed using GeomFill_Pipe. Perhaps the name pipe stems from the fact that a particular case when the profile is closed produces a pipe-like surface. GeomFill_Pipe Pipe; GeomFill_Pipe aPipe (aPath, aProfile, GeomFill_IsFixed); aPipe.GenerateParticularCase(Standard_True); aPipe.Perform(aTol, Standard_False, GeomAbs_C1,...
Surface modeling. Part1

Surface modeling is a fundamental feature of any 3D geometric modeler. As you know, Open CASCADE offers a set of elementary surfaces (planar, conical, spherical, etc), Bezier and B-Spline, revolved, extruded and offset surfaces. There is also a trimmed surface which trims an underlying surface in parameter space.Open CASCADE implements a subset of STEP (ISO standard 10303, part 42) for geometrical and topological...

Hi folks!It took me a few weeks to get back to writing a new post, though I keep on reading most forum posts.First, I wanted the latest post about seminar on parallel programming and Open CASCADE to stay a bit longer to let more people notice it. There were several feedbacks from the readers, all extremely positive and supportive. Many thanks again to...
