Parameters

limitDirection
Type: SystemInt32
Determines which direction is used to compute the limit, where: 0 = default, 1 = from quadrant I, 2 = from quadrant II, etc.
ds
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative.
dt
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative.
dss
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
dst
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
dtt
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
n
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Unit normal.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
True if successful, false otherwise.
