Detaches a surface at parameter value(s) in a specified direction (attribute "direction"). The parameter value(s) are given by the the multi attribute "parameter". The output attribute is a multi attribute containing the resulting surface pieces. The "keep" multi attribute specifies which surface pieces to keep or discard. The "keep" attribute is one element larger than the "parameter" attribute. eg. if a surface is detached at 3 parameter values, then the result is 4 surface pieces to keep or discard.

A single detachSurface node can only detach in one direction.
