Converting Curves to Linear...

Hi Lee,

Did you extrude them by using curves to mesh? If so, can't you just change
the step contour down to 1 on your extrusions?

If you extruded them using extrusion along axis then set the span down to 1
and subdivision type to Per Span.

Hope this helps

Lawrence

Hi all - is there a way to convert Nurbes curves to Linear curves? By which
I mean convert them, as opposed to generating new models.

I've imported an eps file, subtracted all subcurves (700+) and extruded
models from them. I have had to manually rename all 700+ models, but have
since realised I needed to convert to linear curves prior to extruding and
naming the models. Simply going back and doing 'fit to curve' to generat
linear versions of the Nurbs isn't a very pleasant option, as it would mean
re-doing some very, very laborious, torturous, not to mention time consuming
work.

Ideally I could change the Nurbs to linear, which would also keep the
relation with the extruded models intact, and therefore keep the renamed
models intact too....

Any ideas?

Cheers all!
