Trouble with the BRepAlgo_Fuse Methode

Hello, i have a little troubles with the aforementioned Method, i have a list of faces that i want to fuse together without a seam (hence the usage of the older method).

However, the list of faces may contain same faces twice with different ids, so it would be troublesome to check for duplicates.

I start by fusing two faces, then i add the others one by one with the fuse method witch works fine, but whenever a face is added that was added before, i get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users...lib\site-packages\OCC\BRepAlgo.py", line 2885, in __init__
    _BRepAlgo.BRepAlgo_Fuse_swiginit(self, _BRepAlgo.new_BRepAlgo_Fuse(*args))
RuntimeError: Standard_ConstructionError
Geom_TrimmedCurve::U1 == U2

Which i don't understand, i can easily fuse the same shape to itself, so why would this cause trouble..

Does anyone have any idea as to why this should be?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hello Martin,
It is better to fuse all the faces in one operation with the new Boolean algorithm and then unify the result. It should be much safer and probably even faster.
