YoucanconvertfromanalyticsurfacestoNURBSsurfacesusingthenewConverttoNURBStool
(CONVTONURBScommand)whichisaccessiblefromtheControlVerticespanelontheSurfaceribbon
tab.OnceananalyticsurfaceisconvertedtoaNURBSsurfaceyoucanshow/hidethecontrolverticesvia
theShowCV
andHideCVtools(CVSHOWandCVHIDEcommands)andusethegizmotomovethe
