Bezier NURBS
The Bezier NURBS differs from the other NURBS in the sense that it does not require any objects.
Bezier NURBS stretches a surface over Bezier curves in the X and Y directions. The control points for
these curves pull on the surface like small magnets (apart from the edge points, to which the surface
is xed). The Bezier NURBS is perfect for smooth, curvy surfaces such as car wings, nose-cones and
sails.

Object Properties
Subdivision X, Subdivision Y
These settings dene the number of subdivisions in the X and Y directions.
Grid Points X, Grid Points Y
Enter the number of control points in the X and Y directions. The more points you set, the more control
you have over the surface.
Closed X, Closed Y
Use these settings to close the surface in the X and/or Y direction. This is useful for creating tubular
objects, for example.
