Is there a fast and easy way to create/modify these in Rhino without having to manually trim and re-trim every single surface?

Or is there a way to perhaps convert a low-polygon mesh to trimmed surface planes?

Yes, I searched before I posted this.

EDIT: Ok, apparently this is what I was looking for…

Simple method for quad panels from a NURBS surface is to rebuild the surface as degree 1 in both directions. Number of panels in each direction will be 1 less than the number of points in each direction. Panels may be warped.
