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.
