Hi, I guess is not sufficient delete the single topogeometry. An edge could
be linked to one or two faces,
and also the same edge could be linked to many topogeometry.
Infact the topogeometry not necessary need to be mutually exclusive to
each-other ans instead are the topology edge and faces.

So I could have more than one topogeometry on a single edge.
And I should remove also every topogeometry that is linked to the edge I
would remove.

So I could have, for example:
on this sample:

      ----------------
    /          |       \  (universe Face)
    |          |       |
    |      F1  | F2    |
    |          |       |
    |          e1      e2
    |          |       |
     \----------------/
    /                 \
    |                 |
    |        F3       |
    |                 |
    |                 |
    |                 |
     \---------------/

A topogeometry T1 = F1 + F3
another topogeometry T2 = F2 + F3
and another again T3 = F2
and again a topogeometry T4 = F1

so if I plan to remove the edge "e1" I should save all four
topogeometry and re-apply them after.
