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
|
|
| Common flags |
constructionHistory(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off.
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
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)

|
| 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.
