Example:
        using namespace XSI;

        Application app;
        Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

        X3DObject mySphere;
        root.AddGeometry( L"Sphere", L"NurbsSurface", L"", mySphere );

        NurbsSurfaceMesh mySurfaceMesh(mySphere.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry());

        CNurbsSurfaceDataArray surfaces(2);

        NurbsSurface(mySurfaceMesh.GetSurfaces().GetItem(0)).Get(siSINurbs,surfaces[0]);

        X3DObject myCone;
        root.AddGeometry( L"Cone",L"NurbsSurface",L"", myCone );

        mySurfaceMesh = myCone.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry();

        NurbsSurface(mySurfaceMesh.GetSurfaces().GetItem(0)).Get(siSINurbs,surfaces[1]);

Member Function Documentation

bool IsA ( siClassID  in_ClassID ) const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:
in_ClassID class type.
Returns:
true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from Facet.

siClassID GetClassID ( ) const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
The class type.

Reimplemented from Facet.

NurbsSurface& operator= ( const NurbsSurface in_obj )

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_obj constant class object.
Returns:
The new PolygonFace object.
NurbsSurface& operator= ( const CRef in_ref )

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_ref constant class object.
Returns:
The new PolygonFace object.

Reimplemented from Facet.

CKnotArray GetKnots ( siNurbsDirection  in_siNurbsDirection ) const

Returns an array of all Knot values on this NurbsSurface object in a given direction.

Parameters:
in_siNurbsDirection Direction in which we want the knot values.
Returns:
Array of all knots.
CControlPointRefArray GetControlPoints ( ) const

Returns an array of all ControlPoint objects on this NurbsSurface object.

Returns:
A ControlPoint array.
CNurbsSampleRefArray GetNurbsSamples ( ) const

Returns an array of all NurbsSample objects on this NurbsSurface object.

Returns:
A NurbsSample reference array.
CStatus Get ( siNurbsFormat  in_siNurbsFormat,
CNurbsSurfaceData out_surface 
) const

Returns a complete data description of a nurbs surface.

Parameters:
in_siNurbsFormat Specifies how the data is formatted.
Return values:
out_surface The entire surface data description.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success
CStatus::Fail other failure
CStatus Set ( const CNurbsSurfaceData in_surface,
siNurbsFormat  in_siNurbsFormat = siSINurbs 
)

Creates a new geometry for this NurbsSurface from a complete data description of a nurbs surface. This is only available from compiled operators.

Note:
If you use it on a object with some clusters and you change the topology the burden of updating the clusters is on the user.
Warning:
UV ordering is different for the C++ API than it is for scripting. In scripting, a control point array is ordered U-V like so:

(0,0)...(0,cntV-1), (1,0)....(1,cntV-1),(cntU-1,0)...(cntU-1,cntV-1)

However, the order for the C++ API is V-U:

(0,0)...(cntU-1,0), (0,1)....(cntU-1,1)...(0,cntV-1)...(cntU-1,cntV-1)

Since NurbsSurface::Set expects the U-V order, you must reorder the array before passing it via the in_siNurbsFormat argument. See cpp_understand_UV_Ordering UV Ordering for a sample conversion function.
Parameters:
in_surface Specify the new data description for this NurbsSurface.
in_siNurbsFormat Specifies how the data is formatted.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success
CStatus::AccessDenied function used outside of a plug-in operator context.
