Hi Charles, I'm not sure what you mean by segments? But I am interested in an example!
The leak is indeed in BrepExtrema_DistShapeShape. My current approach is to calculate a midpoint for each of the blue edges, which is fast even for 6000 edges. Then I use scipy.spatial.KDTree for a nearest neighbour search. In cases where two or more edges are found, I still use BRepExtrema_DistShapeShape to select the edge closest to that node. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32772/pythonOCC/findverticesnearedge.png Uwe On 07/08/13 06:44, Charles Sharman wrote: > Hi Uwe, > > Are your edges segments?
