FeatureScript parametric surface

Hi there
Working with FeatureScript Parametric Surface:
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/57a62df8e4b03de4c9fcf154/w/f6d71f3d862b522902efcd68/e/ece65382fcd820281a9ee704
I'm trying to model a shape derived from the superellipsoid model:
where a, b, c, p0, p1 is known.
So if i express z = f(x,y), i can create the following shape:
for x,y close to the maximum, the function has an imaginary number as a result. Therefore, I can't create the surface in the corner of the final shape:
from what I've seen in the FeatureScript Parametric Surface i can only set the min, max values for x,y.
I believe expressing y as a function of x would do the job to avoid the corner. Is that possible?
Any other approaches? Final shape should look similar to that:

Edit: I stand corrected. It's been a while since I looked at this featurescript. Looks like the spherical option is only for the parametric curve featurescript. So in this case you're SOL. Sorry
i think i'll give it a try although not super happy with the fill feature in onshape
although there is an analytical solution for intersection points, onshape is interpolating the curve between points. therefore, the curves don't really intersect.
