Hi all,

 

Is it possible to group two shapes in Open Cascade? Not fusing, grouping. If yes, please guide me relevant examples or pointers. 

 

Thanks

Hello Rakesh,

OCCT provides such a container. It is called Compound. The following code snippet solves your problem:

TopoDS_Compound aCompound;
BRep_Builder aBuilder; aBuilder.MakeCompound(aCompound);
aBuilder.Add(aCompound, aShape1);
aBuilder.Add(aCompound, aShape2);

In general, it creates a new shape of the compound type and two shapes are added to this container shape.
