BRepBuilderAPI Class Reference

The BRepBuilderAPI package provides an Application
Programming Interface for the BRep topology data
structure.

The API is a set of classes aiming to provide :

Static Public Member Functions
static DEFINE_STANDARD_ALLOC void	Plane (const Handle< Geom_Plane > &P)
	Sets the current plane.
static const Handle_Geom_Plane &	Plane ()
	Returns the current plane.
static void	Precision (const Standard_Real P)
	Sets the default precision. The current Precision is returned.
static Standard_Real	Precision ()
	Returns the default precision.

Detailed Description

     * High level and simple calls  for the most common <br>
     operations. <br>

• Keeping an access on the low-level
  implementation of high-level calls.
  
  
• Examples of programming of high-level operations
  from low-level operations.
  
  
• A complete coverage of modelling :
  
  
  • Creating vertices ,edges, faces, solids.
    
    
  • Sweeping operations.
    
    
  • Boolean operations.
    
    
  • Global properties computation.
    
    
    The API provides classes to build objects:
    
    

The constructors of the classes provides the
different constructions methods.

• The class keeps as fields the different tools
  used to build the object.
  
  
• The class provides a casting method to get
  automatically the result with a function-like
  call.
  
  For example to make a vertex <V> from a point

one can writes :

V = BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex(P);

or

BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex MV(P);
V = MV.Vertex();


For tolerances a default precision is used which
can be changed by the packahe method
BRepBuilderAPI::Precision.

For error handling the BRepBuilderAPI commands raise only
the NotDone error. When Done is false on a command
the error description can be asked to the command.

In theory the comands can be called with any
arguments, argument checking is performed by the
command.
