Hi Thomas,

 

Brep does not have constructors, it has shared methods that create new breps behind the scene.

 

Reason for this is two-fold:

 

1. Constructors should not throw exceptions. But if something goes wrong then an exception is the only way a constructor can signal this. A Shared function can return a null reference.
2. Constructors are all called the same, the Shared functions can have descriptive names. Most shared functions start with "Create".
