a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a
deep copy.

RefitSimplySplitSurface |
This routine accepts a 3-d trim curve (trimCrv3d).
The trim curve is assumed to run from one surface edge to the opposite edge;
this is referred to as a "simple" trim curve, roughly parallel to one of the
srf directions (either u or v). We refer to that parameter as the "trim parameter".
The routine splits the surface via the trim curve, and then refits either side
("upper" = "above the trim", and "lower" = "below the trim") as a set of
untrimmed Nurbs surfaces. The idea is to retain, as much as possible, the
Nurbs structure of srf, especially in the trim parameter.
