SurfaceInfo

A brush surface object returned by Entity:GetBrushSurfaces.

Brush surfaces are a part of what makes up the map geometry aside from displacements. Any primitive brush model, including most breakable windows, can be represented by this object.

This object internally uses the SurfaceHandle_t class, which is an alias for msurface2_t*.
