Synopsis

multiProfileBirailSurface [flags] [curve1] [curve2] [curve3...] [rail1] [rail2]

The cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profile "curve1" to profile "curve2", profile "curve2" to profile "curve3" and so on along the two rail curves "rail1", "rail2". There must be atleast 3 profile curves followed by the two rail curves. The profile curves must intersect the two rail curves. The constructed may be made tangent continuous to the first and last profile using the flags -tp1, -tp2 provided the profiles are surface curves i.e. isoparms, curve on surface or trimmed edge.

Return value

[string[]] (object name and node name)
