How can I convert a NURBs to a quad mesh in Max?

Hi there,

I have a NURBs object and when I try to convert it into an editable poly it converts it into a triangular mesh, so each face is a triangle instead of quad.

How can I easily convert a NURBs to a quad mesh in Max?

Thanks!

nurbs in max you must be jokin and wanna convert to quad

ok here is a way

convert to poly then use weld tool to make them quads (sucks)
depends on your model this will take hell of atime

but if you want nurbs this is the way i can think of

That's what I've been doing, and as you say, it takes far too long.

Whenever I get nurbs objects they're from clients and other external parties. I don't start my own models in nurbs and convert them to poly.

So is there a way? If it isn't possible, I'd still like to know.
Thanks
