Ruled skinning provides the ability to skin a series of three or more profiles by placing ruled surfaces in between each section of profiles. If only two profiles are provided, this command defaults to basic skinning; and generates a ruled surface in between the two profiles.

Ruled skinning works with both closed and open profiles, degenerate end points, and the solid and closed options. However, it is possible in many "closed" situations to have surfaces that intersect each other. No check is made for that case.
