A3DSewOptionsData

struct A3DSewOptionsData

Options for sewing functions on model file or BRepData.

12.0

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.

Variables

A3DBool A3DSewOptionsData.m_bComputePreferredOpenShellOrientation

When A3D_TRUE, sewing will infer a consistent shell orientation for non-closed shaped.

Default is A3D_FALSE.
