With the next source code, I can read "block.step" but not "cylinder.step". I have an error with the line: "reader_step.TransferRoots();" and the error message in "TKG2d.dll"

Hello Francois-Xavier,
The problem that you can meet with cylinder.step is due to the way of defining topological bounds of cylindrical face. That face on cylindrical surface is limited by two circular wires: top an bottom. These wires are closed in 3d but not in 2d. Such approach is allowed in STEP, but in CASCADE you may need to connect these wires by additional seam edge so as to get single wire closed in 2d.
Is this a problem you had? Please, describe your problems with more details next time.
Since Data Exchange components in OpenCASCADE provide just pure mapping STEP<->CASCADE plus only minimal ShapeHealing, it does not fix such cases of missing seam. This allows you to process the resulting shape in any way you prefer, for example to write it back to STEP and get the same topology.
Note that such kind of topology is encountered very often in the files from Unigraphics, and sometimes in files from MicroStation and Syrko.
Best Regards, Andrey

Hello Andrey,
thanks for your response,
I thinks that your first explication isn't good because I have the same problem with the file "sphere.step". both files come from unigraphics.
in "cylinder.step" I have next lines: ... #150 = DIRECTION ('', (-1., 0., 0.)); ... #490 = CARTESIAN_POINT ('', (0., 0., -100.)); #500 = DIRECTION ('', (0., 0., 1.)); #510 = DIRECTION ('', (1., 0., 0.)); ... #520 = AXIS2_PLACEMENT_3D ('', #490, #500, #510); #530 = CYLINDRICAL_SURFACE ('', #520, 150.); ...
and in "shere.step":
... #90 = CARTESIAN_POINT ('', (1.22464658788737E-14, 0., 200.)); #100 = VERTEX_POINT ('', #90); #110 = VERTEX_LOOP ('', #100); #120 = FACE_BOUND ('', #110, .T.); #130 = CARTESIAN_POINT ('', (0., 0., 0.)); #140 = DIRECTION ('', (6.12323293943686E-17, 0., 1.)); #150 = DIRECTION ('', (1000., 0., 0.)); #160 = AXIS2_PLACEMENT_3D ('', #130, #140, #150); #170 = SPHERICAL_SURFACE ('', #160, 200.); #180 = ADVANCED_FACE ('', (#120), #170, .T.); #190 = CLOSED_SHELL ('', (#180)); #200 = MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP ('', #190); #210 = ADVANCED_BREP_SHAPE_REPRESENTATION ('', (#200), #80);
maybe it's because the reader don't understande expression : "SPHERICAL_SURFACE" and "CYLINDRICAL_SURFACE " ???
I don't make anything after reading file, just translation in a Shape object and view.
thanks for your help,
François-Xavier

Hello François-Xavier,
The situation with sphere is similar to that of cylinder, but yet worse. As you can see, the boundary of a spherical face is given (by Unigraphics) just as single vertex in the pole of a sphere (see entities #120 -> #110 -> #100).
When you read this STEP file, you get, as a result of pure mapping, a face on spherical surface limited by wire made of single degenerated edge. This is the same as what is written in STEP file. But for good sphere in Open CASCADE you need to have two degenerated edges in both poles, plus seam edge connecting them...
You may meet the same problems in files from Unigraphics for faces based on any kind of periodic surfaces (spherical, cylindrical, conical, toroidal, surfaces of revolutions).
Best Regards,
Andrey

Hi Guys,
We are having the same problem. We are developing a Parasolid Reader/Writer to work with Open CASCADE. Sphere's etc in Parasolids are defined in much the same way as the Step problem. ie Seam info is missing.

Dear Andrey
I have the same seam problem.
I will very appreciate it if you could tell me how to resolve this problem in OpenCascade.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr. Sun,
Since version 4.0 of Open CASCADE Technology STEP translator includes complete Shape Healing toolkit
that should be fully capable of fixing cases of missing seam edges
(similar to the ones discussed in the past on the Forum).
If you use latest version of OCCT and still have a problem, it is likely to be connected with some other case.
Best regards,

Dear Forum Supervisor
Thank you for your information.
Is version 4.0 of Open CASCADE more robust than version 5.0 in Shape Healing Toolkit, for example, ShapeFix_Shape, ShapeUpgrade_ShapeDivideClosed, and so on?
Best regards,
G.P. Sun
