Create 3D Spline Example (VBA)

This example shows how to create a 3D spline.

'----------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Open a new part.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Creates a 3D sketch of a spline as per the
'    specified data points.
' 2. Examine the graphics area and FeatureManager
'    design tree.
