synopsis.
singleProfileBirailSurface is undoable, queryable, and
editable.
This cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profile curve
along the two rail curves. One of the requirements for surface
creation is the profile curve must intersect the two rail curves.
If the profile is a surface curve i.e. isoparm, curve on surface or
trimmed edge then tangent continuity across the surface underlying
the profile may be enabled using the flag -tp1 true. The first
argument represetns the profile curve, the second and third the
rails.

Properties |
tangentContinuityProfile1(
tp1) |
boolean |
   |
|
Need to be tangent continuous across the profile. The profile
must be a surface curve.
Default: false |
|
transformMode(tm) |
int |
|
|
transform mode ( Non proportional, proportional ). Non
proportional is default value.
Default: 0 |
|
| Advanced flags |
caching(cch) |
boolean |
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for
more information.
Note: For advanced users only. |
|
nodeState(nds) |
int |
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more
information.
Note: For advanced users only. |
|
| Common flags |
name(n) |
string |
|
|
Name the resulting object |
|
constructionHistory(ch) |
boolean |
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off |
|
object(o) |
boolean |
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node |
|
polygon(po) |
int |
|
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for
the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
