--- received arguments ---
PK_CURVE_t curve, --- curve to spin

This function spins a curve to form a surface. The function allows spinning
of sections of axis crossing curves to produce non self intersecting subsets
of the surface that would be generated by spinning the whole curve.
This function does not support facet geometry [NF]
Specific Errors:
PK_ERROR_impossible_spin cannot determine spun geometry
PK_ERROR_unsuitable_entity not one of the allowed curve types
PK_ERROR_su_self_intersect surface would be self intersecting
This function creates a spun surface or surface of revolution.
See Local Ops: Spinning or Sweeping an Entity for more information.
The 'curve' is revolved about the specified 'axis', the new surface
being the envelope of the curve. The sense of the revolution appears
clockwise when viewed along the direction of the axis.
The curve must be of one of the following classes:
PK_CLASS_line
PK_CLASS_circle
PK_CLASS_ellipse
PK_CLASS_bcurve
Options permit forcing a simplifed surface being returned where possible, and
selecting a subset of the curve where spinning the whole curve would produce a
self-intersecting aurface.
If the given 'curve' is not an orphan, then the resulting surface will be
created as construction geometry in the owning part.
