[FEEDBACK] In Geometry Pipeline looks like missing the surface type option. How to soft reference or link all "surface" from a Rhino layer?

The nomenclature is not consistent I’m afraid.

In Rhino:
Surface = single face with or without trimming data
Polysurface = two or more joined faces with or without trimming data.

In Rhino SDK:
Surface = single face without trimming data
Brep = one or more faces with or without trimming data

In Grasshopper:
Surface = single face with or without trimming data
Brep = one or more joined faces with or without trimming data.

Basically, what Grasshopper calls a “surface” is just an SDK Brep with a face limitation.
