Hi,
I think you cannot convert an infinite surface to BSpline, because a BSpline Surface is bounded, and not infinite ( inherits from Geom_BoundedSurface )

Convert surface to BSpline surface.
Hi all friends:
I try to use GeomConvert::SurfaceToBSplineSurface(surf)to convert surface to BSpline surface. It works for finite surface. If the surface is infinite in one direction or two direction, this method will raise exception Standard_DomainError. Is there any other method that can be used to convert infinite surface to BSline surface?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

Hi,
Stephane is right, you can't convert an infinite surface, it's even mentionned in the documentation:
This algorithm converts a non infinite surface from Geom into a B-spline surface. S must be a trimmed plane or a trimmed cylinder or a trimmed cone or a trimmed sphere or a trimmed torus or a sphere or a torus or a Bezier surface of a trimmed Bezier surface or a trimmed swept surface with a corresponding basis curve which can be turned into a B-spline curve (see the method CurveToBSplineCurve).
So you might want to trim you surface in the infinite direction first using Geom_RectangularTrimmedSurface.
Good Luck,
