class counterpart of mel function alignSurface
The surface align command is used to align surfaces in maya. The main alignment options are positional, tangent and curvature continuity. Curvature continuity implies tangent continuity. NOTE: this tool is based on Studio’s align tool. Positional continuity means the surfaces (move) or the ends of the surfaces (modify) are changed. Tangent continuity means one of the surfaces is modified to be tangent at the points where they meet. Curvature continuity means one of the surfaces is modified to be curvature continuous as well as tangent. The default behaviour, when no surfaces or flags are passed, is to only do positional and tangent continuity on the active list with the end of the first surface and the start of the other surface used for alignment.

If true, reverse the direction (specified by directionU) of the first input surface before doing align. Otherwise, do nothing to the first input surface before aligning. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false

If true, reverse the direction (specified by directionU) of the second input surface before doing align. Otherwise, do nothing to the second input surface before aligning. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.alignSurface
If true, swap the UV directions of the first input surface before doing align. Otherwise, do nothing to the first input surface before aligning. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.alignSurface
If true, reverse the second surface in the opposite direction (specified by directionU) before doing align. This will avoid twists in the aligned surfaces. Otherwise, do nothing to the second input surface before aligning. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.Default:false
