Afternoon all,

I have myself a mesh. And I need to export it in IGES format, but only nurbs will export as IGES. Is there anyway to convert the mesh into nurbs or is there another way around this?

Cheers, TBK

- Select the object
- Paste the following line into the script editor (VBScript), and click run:
ApplyOp "PolyMeshPNet"

Note: XSI may run slowly after that until you freeze the nurbs object.

Note: Complex objects may fail (better to have a 4 sided polygon surface)

Note : must say that it gives disapointing results almost always , test it with a cube and insted of a simplified topology with 4 sided surfaces it shows a mess even didnt respecting the cube form. I dont know how it works in maya, test it there, other than that you have reverse engineering apps.

See what you mean, the results are pretty poor....

Maybe converting it into an obj and using something else to conver it into iges might work?
