deferred class SolidExplorer from TopClass 

	---Purpose: Provide an   exploration of a  BRep Shape   for the
	--          classification.

    Reject(me;  P : Pnt from gp) returns Boolean

    Segment(me: in out;  P :  Pnt from gp;

	 --          compute  intersections.

	 --          and so on.

	---Purpose: Starts an exploration of the shells.

	---Purpose: Returns True if there is  a current shell.

	---Purpose: Sets the explorer  to the  next  shell and  returns
	--          False if there are no more wires.
    is deferred;
    
    RejectShell(me; L :  Lin from gp; Par : Real) returns Boolean
	---Purpose: Returns True  if the shell  bounding volume does not

    InitFace(me : in out)
	---Purpose: Starts an exploration of the faces.

	---Purpose: Returns True if there is  a current face.

    CurrentFace(me) returns Face from TopoDS
    	---Purpose: Returns the current face.

    RejectFace(me; L :  Lin from gp; Par : Real) returns Boolean
	---Purpose: Returns True  if the face  bounding volume does not
