This works fine here:

SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");
Merge "Inlet.brep";
Merge "Walls.brep";
Merge "Outlet.brep";
BooleanFragments{ Surface{:}; Delete; }{ }
Surface Loop(1) = {1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 4};
Volume(1) = {1};

When the orientation of surfaces is inconsistent open cascade will by default automatically reorient the surfaces; unless you set Geomtry.OCCAutoFix = 0.

However, when I créate a Surface loop, automatically generates aditional surfaces(when i go to tools;vissibility;tree appears 12 surfaces) it creates a , and the volume is referenced to the dupplicate surfaces. Im able to créate both 2d and 3d meses, but when i export into freefem as .mesh or .msh is not loaded correctly. Is there any way to solve this problem.  I attach the .geo script below and also the .brep surfaces and the generated .mesh and .msh meses.
