I like the code, only a few minor tweaks suggested. However, please be so kind and provide a Grasshopper test script with the added methods - you are touching core projects of the entire BHoM here so extensive testing is a must. The script should ensure correctness of the methods as it will be serialised to serve as a unit test in the future.

@pawelbaran , I've added the GH test script to this PR's description.

[pawelbaran]

@vietle-bh I have had a look at the test script you prepared - it is a good start, but definitely not sufficient (not enough cases, no verification). I quickly patched up an alternative how I would do it and uploaded it here. Let's have a chat tomorrow to coordinate on how to bring this PR over the line 💪

Sorry @FraserGreenroyd , similar story here where the failed test isn't relevant to this PR. It's the unit-tests this time. Could we bypass this please?

@BHoMBot this is a DevOps instruction. I am requesting neutral checks on: ready-to-merge, unit-tests

[bhombot-ci]

@FraserGreenroyd I have provided neutral checks to the checks requested. These checks will need to be run properly to obtain full results.
