public Surface TrimWithEdgeLoops(IEnumerable<PolyCurve> loops)

public Surface TrimWithEdgeLoops(IEnumerable<PolyCurve> loops, double tolerance = 0)

Trims the surface with a collection of one or more closed PolyCurves that must all lie on the surface within the specified tolerance. If one or more holes need to be trimmed from the input surface, there must be one outer loop specified for the boundary of the surface and one inner loop for each hole. If the region between the surface boundary and the hole(s) needs to be trimmed, only the loop for each hole should be provided. For a periodic surface with no outer loop such as a spherical surface, the trimmed region can be controlled by reversing the direction of the loop curve.

public UV UVParameterAtPoint(Point point)

Return the UV parameter pair at the input Point. This is the inverse of Point at parameter.
