My method is to get all tessellated points from the shape, and use GProp_PGProps to get the principal component. (GProp_PrincipalProps p= principal.PrincipalProperties();)
And finally, using the points to measure with the initial bounding box.
Hi. Could you be more specific? What do you mean by "using the points to measure with the initial bounding box". What do you need the principal component for? Sadly, i can not understand the idea behind your method.
I am interested in the same topic. Object-oriented bounding boxes or k-DOPs for arbitrary shapes in OCCT would be great. Are there already some approaches? Cauchy's method? Or would we need to develop it from scratch?
thank you again for the code snippet. It has served well as a starting point for studying oriented bounding boxes. Still I have the feeling that there are some flaws in the implementation. For example the swapping if id==0 in lines 151 and 152 should be x <-> y and y <-> z in my opinion.
I have wondered whether we should propose to integrate oriented bounding boxes into OCCT. But then my impression was that a good implementation really demands a lot of effort. For example the standard separation axis test reports two oriented bounding boxes always as intersecting, if they are flat and within the same plane and extra checks have to be written to get correct results in that special case. Therefore it might be better to use already existing implementations that care for all of that (right now I am not aware of such an implementation) instead of re-implementing everything within OCCT. What do you and the others think? Has anyone found a high-quality OBB implementation and used it with OCCT?

hi Mauro,
This is a little embarrassing, I got the terminology wrong -- I'm interested in a OOBB rather than AABB...

Hi Guys,
I've attached a source file. Please take it as reference. To get raw points from face, you can do it as followings:
TopLoc_Location loc;
Handle_Poly_Triangulation pTess = BRep_Tool::Triangulation(face, loc);
if(pTess.IsNull())
return false;
std::vector<gp_Pnt> nodes;
std::vector<gp_Pnt> norms;
std::vector<LS_INTEGER> face3Vers;
LS_INTEGER i, N1, N2, N3;
const TColgp_Array1OfPnt& meshVers = pTess->Nodes();

Hi Cauchy,
thank you very much. I will have a close look at it.
