in order to use splines in RS you have to
be quite organized about what you're building..
You're right, it's not the most flexible nurbs system. I
sometimes wonder why it's (still) there when SDS can do the same and more. Imho
nurbs would make sence if they could be used for precise, cad-like modelling รก
la Rhino.
there is no deleting points and reconnecting them
elsewhere.. sure, I can insert a new curve, but that thing is going to
cruise through the whole model and create more density and detail where I don't
need it, making the whole thing harder and harder to handle.
If you build your mesh from nurbs
crossections with
the XSect tool and don't delete the crossections you'll be able to edit,
delete and add points on the crossections wherever you like and the mesh will
follow. Curves will be added through the whole model, as you say, but change in
the shape of the model only take place where you planned them. Still, better use
sds though.
