I went home for lunch to try it out but I forgot to download the tube script file before I left. So, I ended up making the model live and then used the curve tool to draw a curve around the eye socket snapping the last point to the first. Then I went to the Open/Close options and selected "Blend" instead of "Preserve" (default) in the shape field. Then made the model not live and created a small circle to extrude with. I selected the circle and the curve that I created and then performed a nurbs extrude. Worked perfectly.
Selecting "Blend" instead of "Preserve" in the Open/Close options, took care of the pinch problem.
I still plan on downloading the tube script and trying that out too, to see which method I like best. Thanks for the help. Really apprciate it...now I can continue on.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
