How to iterate all faces in TopoDS_Solid using OpenCASCADE
You can use the OCCUtils library to iterate all TopoDS_Face
instances in a TopoDS_Solid
#include <occutils/ShapeComponents.hxx>
using namespace OCCUtils;
TopoDS_Shape myShape = /* ... */;
auto faces = ShapeComponents::AllFacesWithin(myShape);
// Iterate all solids
for(const TopoDS_Face& face : faces) {
/* ... */
}
Alternatively, you can use this source code without OCCUtils:
#include <TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape.hxx>
#include <TopoDS.hxx>
#include <TopoDS_Shape.hxx>
#include <TopExp.hxx>
TopoDS_Shape myShape = /* ... */;
TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape faces;
TopExp::MapShapes (myShape, TopAbs_FACE, faces);
for (int i = 1; i <= faces.Extent (); i++) {
TopoDS_Face face = TopoDS::Face(faces(i));
/* ... */
}
If you have the choice, I recommend using OCCUtils since it makes your code much more readable than using the raw OpenCASCADE API.
