Looks like this method<http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2013/en_us/sdkguide/index.html?url=si_om/NurbsSurfaceMesh.GetSubSurfaceIndexArray.html,topicNumber=si_om_NurbsSurfaceMesh_GetSubSurfaceIndexArray_html>would be useful to you if it was implemented in ICE. It'd be perfect with the UV to Location node.
It's the opposite issue with polygons. You can extract the polygon index from the location but it's missing the polygon UV. I was hoping to be able to build a location from scratch using those two attributes. But I couldn't find anything about polygon UVs, even in the sdk. Maybe Grahame knows?
