Converting a mesh model to NURBS

Rhino SubD
1

Hello,
Can anyone guide me to a quick way of converting a STEP model into NURBS?
I download files from a suppler as a STEP. The files are large and when I import them into my
model, it really slows everything down. I typically just turn the layer off until I need to absolutely use it.
I am trying a quad re-mesh at the moment, but this is also painful. The model has roughly 3000
quad meshes that it is working through. All this without a preview so I have no idea what I will get on the back end.

If anyone runs into this issue and can give me some guidance, I sure would appreciate it.
