I want an Untrimmed surface!!

When I create a set of points and connect them using the interpolate component then I use the surface parameter, the output is a "Trimmed Surface" (You can read it by hovering over the Surface Parameter. Why is that happening? I didn't trim anything!!! I want it to be "Untrimmed Surface" because I am going to use the Region Union Component to combine it with other surfaces and that component does not recognize Trimmed Surfaces! What to do?? Is there a way I can draw Untrimmed Surfaces using the spline curves?

The surface is trimmed because planar surfaces are created as rectangles that have to be trimmed down to fit into an arbitrary boundary like your IntCrv.

The RegionUnion works fine with (planar) Trimmed Surfaces (even a mixture of curves and surfaces), though it's unnecessary since you could also just use your IntCrv as an input.
