OK, I've created my nurb extrusions, but I'm having trouble converting them. I've played with different settings, and on a per-tube basis, adjusting the chord height ratio (using Standard Fit) is giving me the best results; however, it seems to pack the same amount of polys into the smaller tubes - this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that it creates a different amount of faces around the circumference; for clean welding I really want all the tubes to have the same number. Anyone able to help on this? thanks, gubar
