converts a solid into a plated solid
Description
This function separates a solid geometry into all mounting faces. Afterwards all mounting faces are converted into solid plates by using SGofSurface. Thus, a solid block is converted into a shell of several plates with about the same outer and inner geometry. Each mounting face will result in one separate solid. The plates do not share any vertex.
