Continuing the discussion from Having trouble to efficiently getting a nurbs/ polysurface from this mesh:
Something like the attached - with something this simple, (btw, looks like it was originally a surface object, maybe?) you can
ExtractWireFrame
SelChain > Tangency > Angle at 12-15 to select chains of lines in the web of the wireframe lines.
Rebuild these
Loft
A patch through the internal mesh ‘caps’ will get that surface.

Ah, that is right. I forgot Rebuild! It works now! Thanks!
