Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Try rebuilding your surface.

Edit Nurbs > Rebuild Surface > Options

In the options, after inserting an isoparm or two, you want to make sure you rebuild your surface using what I call efficiency settings.

These settings are to select the 0 to #Spans, U and V, CVs options.

When you do so, your isoparms will shift a little bit. See if it will let you insert more afterwards. Also, if you open the attribute editor (Ctrl A) of your surface, it will tell you how many spans in the U and V direction you have. You can use the Rebuild Surface options to tell your surface exactly how many spans you want.

Hope that helps some.
