Subject: 1) Fix for issue 0022706 with MakePipeTShape (workaround for Fillet problem)
X-Git-Tag: V7_5_1rc1~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.salome-platform.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afbfdd0ed2bc2a67280a4638345de8a28811c32e;p=modules%2Fgeom.git

1) Fix for issue 0022706 with MakePipeTShape (workaround for Fillet problem)
2) Clean-up code:
- Remove redundant includes
- Move oftenly used functions to GEOMUtils
- Add documentation, indentation, etc.
