class ShellSewing from ShapeUpgrade 

    ---Purpose: This class provides a tool for applying sewing algorithm from
    --          BRepAlgo: it takes a shape, calls sewing for each shell, 
    --          and then replaces sewed shells with use of ShapeBuild_ReShape

uses 
    Shape from TopoDS,
    IndexedMapOfShape from TopTools,
    ReShape from ShapeBuild

is

    Create returns ShellSewing;
    ---Purpose: Creates a ShellSewing, empty

    ApplySewing (me: in out; shape: Shape from TopoDS; tol: Real = 0.0)
    	returns Shape from TopoDS;
    ---Purpose: Builds a new shape from a former one, by calling Sewing from
    --          BRepOffsetAPI. Rebuilt solids are oriented to be "not infinite"
    --           
    --          If <tol> is not given (i.e. value 0. by default), it is
    --          computed as the mean tolerance recorded in <shape>
    --           
    --          If no shell has been sewed, this method returns the input
    --          shape
