Detailed Description

Provides methods to cast objects of class TopoDS_Shape to more specialized sub-classes. The types are not verified before casting. If the type does not match, a Standard_TypeMismatch exception is thrown. Below are examples of correct and incorrect casts:

Correct:

TopoDS_Shape aShape = ...; // aShape->ShapeType() == TopAbs_VERTEX
const TopoDS_Vertex& aVertex = TopoDS::Vertex(aShape);

Incorrect (will throw a Standard_TypeMismatch exception):

TopoDS_Shape aShape = ...; // aShape->ShapeType() == TopAbs_VERTEX
const TopoDS_Face& face = TopoDS::Edge(aShape);
