Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Shell orientation is changed when moving CATPart
  from CATIA V5 to CATIA V4 through STEP.
  In fact, STEP V5 file is badly interpreted in CATIA
  V4.
  This problem is strictly data configuration
  dependent.
  There is no orientation modification when doing the
  same operation running it on each face computed
  independently or using a shell got from a join made
  with 2 extrusions.
  PRS closing is motivated by the fact that a
  correction in CATIA V4 requires too many impacts
  in the soft.

Temporary fix
