Rebuild NURBS surface to optimize its control vertices

“

- [Instructor] The last object that we need to model is, of course, the seat, and I've provided a top view and a side view of the seat. Let's create a new layer called -Seat, and I'll make that the current layer. And I'll give it the color magenta. And then I want to create a surface from this plan representation here, so I'll go to the Surface tab and click on Planer, and then use the Object option and select these two objects. Press Enter. Erase defining objects? No, I want to retain those splines in cyan. Now I want to convert this surface into a NURBS surface. So I can do that by clicking on this button, and then clicking on the surface, Enter. This time I will erase the defining objects. Yes. So, now I should just have a single NURB surface there. I'm going to show the CVs on the surface. Enter. And then rebuild that to have seven CVs in the U direction and six in the V direction, OK. And I'm having an odd number in one direction, which is this direction, the U direction, so that…
