Description

Shell a solid to create a hollow part. The operation can expose these exact kernel roles:

• shell.body_face: surviving or modified source body faces.
• shell.offset_face: generated offset faces.
• shell.closing_descendant: descendants of removed closing faces.
• shell.wall: generated closing-boundary edges.

The named arguments map directly to those roles. A role is available only when OCC provides a complete witness; requesting an unavailable role fails instead of deriving one from enumeration or geometry. result_tag tags the resulting solid. Recorded assignments replay as semantic nodes and preserve face versus edge target kinds.
