Synopsis

singleProfileBirailSurface [flags] [profile1] [ rail1] [rail2]

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.

Return value

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