   When sewing a model, ``A3DSewBrep``\ cannot always give a fully enclosed shape (a solid). Thus being an open shape, the resulting shape has no concrete inside or outside. This effect entirely depend on the design and accuracy of the originating models. In that case, the concept of face orientation is not relevant enough to determine inward and outward-oriented faces in the resulting representation item. When ``m_bComputePreferredOpenShellOrientation``\ is set to ``A3D_TRUE``\ , the sewing algorithm will try to infer a general faces orientation of the resulting shape even if it isn’t enclosed.

      When ``A3D_TRUE``\ , sewing will infer a consistent shell orientation for non-closed shaped.
      
      Default is ``A3D_FALSE``\ .
