Hi,

did you try TopoDS_Shape::Orientation() ?
It should return the TopAbs_Orientation of the considered shape.

Hi mbd,

I've seen this method, but what meens the different results.
TopAbs_FORWARD == clockwise ???
TopAbs_REVERSED == counter clockwise ???
TopAbs_INTERNAL == ???
TopAbs_EXTERNAL == ???

Do you know the meaning of that ?

Thank you for answer.
