I have attached an image of the result mesh. It should be a cylinder, with a hole.

I have tested this with the current main branch, and the problem still exists. I tested it with 3rd party data (just to be sure, that the problem is not in my code), and I successfully reproduced it. See the attached STEP file.
It seems, that not only extruded faces are involved, but all faces that are closed in one direction.

Steps to reproduce:

pload all
ReadStep d tmp.stp
XGetOneShape shape d
vinit
vdisplay shape

I have attached a wrong stp file, but the bug can be reproduced with the attached brep files.

Dear Andrey,

Attached shapes contain narrow notched tail in parametric space which cannot be processed by triangulator correctly and lead to degenerative triangles that are forbidden by BRepMesh (circle_extrusion_2d.png).

I consider it as inconsistency of the models which should be fixed by shape healing tool first.

Could you please check shapes and move this issue to shape healing category or make a decision about further plans?
