There's a slight inconvenience in this definition. I create the lofted
curves by splitting a kinked curve. If the height difference between
two consecutive points exceeds the kink threshold, the surface will
break. If there is no desire to create a ceiling with such a radical
slope, you could just cap the sliders so that this never occurs.
