extends GeomSSEntity

RULED SURFACE ENTITY - This entity represents a ruled or 2-curve linearly lofted surface. A ruled surface is formed by moving a line connecting points of equal relative arc length (Form 0) or equal relative parametric value (Form 1) on two parametric curves from a start point to a terminate point on the curves.
This entity, when read from an IGES file, is converted to a LoftedSurface surface. This entity type can not be written out to an IGES file. The surface parameters are stored in the user data with the prefix "IGES_118_" followed by the parameter name.
