Surface Approximation Utility (NURBS)

The Surface Approximation utility lets you change approximation and display settings without going into the NURBS model, and is especially useful for changing settings on multiple NURBS objects at once.

• Utilities panel > Utilities rollout > More button > Utilities dialog > Surface Approximation

It has two rollouts, one for surface approximation and the other for surface display controls:
