Hi

to create solig, first you should have a corresponding shell, then use BRepBuilderAPI_MakeSolid(...).

How to get shell from faces depends on your situation:

if your faces share the same edges (refer to the same TEdge), you can create empty shell and use BRepBuilder to add faces to shell;

if your faces have only geometry contact, you need to use sewing.
