Detailed Description

Represents a NXOpen::Features::IForm builder.

This class allows definition of iso-parameter curves on a face. These curves then can be shaped using NXOpen::GeometricUtilities::CurveShapingBuilder to finally shape the face.
To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen::Features::FeatureCollection::CreateIformBuilder
