Hi,

So with the Ends SOP on Unroll we can extract wireframes from polygon surface. How do we extract the wireframes of NURBs surfaces, as curves?

Thanks in advance. :-)

Hi,

you can map a polygrid on the surface and use the fit node (interpolation) for example. There probably better ways.

Carve sop with breakpoints and extract curves will do it.

Works best in the U direction, so I use a reverse sop to swap U and V, run the carve again, ends sop to open the curves, and merge with the original carve result.
