Hi Daniel,
It's one of the mysteries that we still haven't completely figured out with
OpenCASCADE. I believe the issue is linked to our use of BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing
to create shells ("surface loops"); but up to now we couldn't figure out how to
create shells from surfaces without this, which indeed (sometimes) creates new
surfaces...
Any insights from OpenCASCADE folks would be most welcome!
