Thanks Thomas, it helps a lot. The axis of a wall is a plane (finite) if I understand well, is that corret ? If so, I guess I should be able to extract the thickness of the wall (from the body and the normal vector from the axis). I thought that the connection between the shell element would be a problem but if you say that it's managable, it's good to hear. To be more specific about what I'm trying to achieve, I use Code_Aster (which is an open-source code) to carry out finite element calculations...

Hi, I just discovered this tool which I think is very interesting and might do the trick for what I was planning to achieve. So firs of all, great job ! What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to construct a geometry composed of shell elements (planar faces without thickness) instead of 3D elements , from an IFC file. These faces will have to be at the neutral fiber of the slabs or walls. What's more, I'm using Salome as my CAD software which is developed by OpenCascade so I thought that it would...
