Hi,

Here is one for you:
Is there any way to have a nurbs surface that maya would treat as a curve?
Used only when switching the visibility in the panel.
So when I switch off the visibility for the curves that particular nurbs surface will also be
hidden?

I'm not sure what you mean by "that particular Nurbs Surface" in relation to a curve.. I presume you are referring to the nurbs surface created by a particular curve..?

one way (and there are others) you could do this would be to simply connect one of the relevent curve's .visibility attribute to the surface's .vis attr:

connectAttr -f curve1.visibility loftedSurface1.visibility;

now, if "curve1" is visible, the surface "loftedSurface1" is too, and vice versa.

is that any help?
