Converting to an Interpolated Surface

An existing untrimmed NURBS surface can be converted to an interpolated NURBS surface for easier reshaping.

To convert an untrimmed NURBS surface to an interpolated surface:

  1. Select an untrimmed NURBS surface.

  2. Select Model > 3D Power Pack > Create Interpolated Surface.

    3. The Create Interpolated Surface dialog box opens, with a suggested number of interpolation points and degree values for the conversion. These parameters can be changed.

  3. Click OK to create the interpolated surface. Select Show Vertices from the Object Info palette to display interpolation points. Use the Reshape tool to reshape the interpolated NURBS surface.
