Derived from mel command maya.cmds.extendSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

#Create a nurbs plane, then extend both sides of the plane by 10
pm.nurbsPlane(n='plane1')
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.extendSurface('plane1', d=10, es=2)
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.ExtendSurface(u'extendSurface1')] #
