duplicateSurface([constructionHistory=boolean], [local=boolean], [name=string], [object=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
duplicateSurface is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The duplicateSurface command takes a surface patch (face) and
and returns the 3D surface. Connected patches are returned
as a single surface.
