ummm it's not really that hard. If you are outputtin curves, they are just curves, and you can model with them just like any other nurbs curve. You can loft, birail, extrude, trim, what ever. If you out put to poly, just select the faces and extrude, want to bevel it, select the edges and bevel, or make another extrusion and scale with the move component tool.

You could do it the hard way..but why bother? just get the bevel Plus plugin from Alias's site ;)

Thanks allot Lyr.
Going to work more on it when I wake up tommorrow ;)

NowInc: Yes I downloaded that plugin, thou, I didn't know where to put the files :p so I wasn't able to install it....going to look into that more later...

Had some trouble using the bevel plus script. Ending in "not to satified state"
Very cool I'll admit (especially since UI is near exactly same as Invigorator)
But the tight areas in certain types/fonts became hard for bevel plus to interpolate correctly. Needs more work. For now quicker to do it manually like Lyr mentioned.

About where to put the script:
Place the mel in the >maya>scripts Then the little pics under icons. ALthough sometimes the mel will need to be placed under plugins folder insted. So...
Easy way to be sure is copy to both then figure out which one to delete after you have it working.
This is explained on the maya community portion of alias's site as well.
