Create Surface Knit Feature Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a Surface-Knit feature.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions: Part document containing two surfaces is open.

//

// Postconditions:

// A Surface-Knit feature is created using the two selected surfaces.
