When I try to create a surface A bounded by 4 edges using BRepOffsetAPI_MakeFilling, I get an exception in Plate_SequenceOfPinpointConstraint::Value. The reason seems to be that GeomPlate_BuildPlateSurface::Perform() fails to project one edge on the initial surface. This edge is taken from another surface B which was also created using BRepOffsetAPI_MakeFilling. My aim is actually to create surface A tangential to surface B, but even without tangency it fails. If I use the original spline, which was used to create surface B, instead of the mentioned edge of B, it works.
In order to reproduce the problem, you can use the following Draw-commands:
restore Basis.brep b
explode b
filling r 4 0 0 b_5 b_1 0 b_2 0 b_3 0 b_4 0
When you use the spline instead of b_4, it works:
restore Basis_spline.brep s
filling r 4 0 0 b_5 b_1 0 b_2 0 b_3 0 s 0
Is it a bug or is there a problem with edge b_4?

Dear Timo,
In fact your post already contains the answer.
Just make the next step: compare underlying curves.

Thanks for the reply, but could you please be more specific what might be the problem.
I dumped the curves in Draw.
b_4 is:
BSplineCurve
Degree 11, 42 Poles, 5 Knots
s is:
BSplineCurve
Degree 2, 3 Poles, 2 Knots
Is the degree of b_4 too high? But if I set maxDegree of filling higher it still fails.
Regards,
Timo
