Fine, what should this tell me? I'm not a fortune teller. I don't have a crystal ball to consult. You are wasting my time and you are wasting your time. If you can't make up example data, that you can share with me, not the forum, but me. Then I can't help you.

Ok. It took some time. Thought and thought about it. I still have an old crystal ball somewhere in the basement. So went down and went through all the cabinets. After some time I found my crystal ball. I polished it. And i questioned it. It tells me, that there is a chance that something inside OpenCascade might not work the way it should be.

Okay, perhaps you should report it, to the OpenCascade community :mrgreen:

Just a joke, thank you for your help :!:

Out of curiosity is added shell.toNURBS(). It dramatically worsens the performance. But it makes it possible to work with spherical segments. (I updated my https://gist.github.com/5263/1e9c3266574fd9aebf29 accordingly)

Note to self: It might make sense to directly use IntCurvesFace_Intersector instead of distToShape.

BTW: You should really give OCCT 6.8.0 a try
it fixes http://tracker.dev.opencascade.org/view.php?id=25270, as well.
