Detailed Description

Represents a Features::IForm builder.

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