[CONNECT Update 12 C++] mdlBspline_extractCapAsSurface missing ?

Question

Hello, 
 
 I'm working on porting a modulefromV8i to Connect. I have a problem with mdlBspline_extractCapAsSurface function. 
 The function is defined in msbsplin.fdf. Compiler work but during linking phase, compiler says function is missing. 
 Other mdlspline functions has no problem. With dumpbin I found a function named bspconv _ extractCapAsSurface. It has the same parameters. 
 Is it the function to work with? 
 
 Ciao 
 
 Franco

Hi Franco Minutiello , 
 [UPDATE: Please defer or consider Brien's response above first, then my recommendations secondary.] 
 The function mdlBspline_extractCapAsSurface is a simple wrapper around the unpublished bspconv_extractCapAsSurface method you discovered. Since the function signatures are the same you can link BentleyGeom.lib where it is defined and temporarily add a function declaration like below until the method export is published again. 
 Other options include migrating bspline surface code to use the Solids API; possibly considering: Body from Surface and Sweep Body Wire/Sheet methods. 
 int bspconv_extractCapAsSurface
(
MSBsplineSurface *capP, /* <= cap surface (planar) */
MSBsplineSurface *solidP, /* => surface */
double tolerance, /* => chord height tolerance */
bool lastRow /* => false gives surface start */
) 
 Thank you and HTH, Bob
