Following is sample code on Gather_Capping_Geometry with all options (“segment only”,”ignore matrix”, “section offset”, “refine cuts”
Default: HC_Gather_Capping_Geometry will only generate capping geometry for the given cutting plane.
Common Errors:
1. HOOPS need to render capping geometry. Update must be called before calling Gather_Capping_Geometry
2. Double check key path. Make sure key path is from the leaf to root (driver) segment.

Refine Cuts: This option will determine if capping geometry will be refine by all cutting planes in scene. Default (OFF), capping geometry is only generate by one cutting plane
