Converting SubD wires into Curves

[timcel]

Hi there,

I have an unusual request. When displaying SubD models SubD Wires are shown. What I’d like to do is convert the wires I’m seeing into actual curves that I will then be able to use for later machine operations in my sculpture work. For that matter I’d like to do the same with displayed Surface Isocurves in NURBS models. Any ideas on how to do this?

You can duplicate the SubD edges with DupEdge and then use MultiPipe with a desired radius to thicken the resulting curves.

Oh that’s too simple. Thanks! I never thought of them as edges in this context. Thanks again.
