Convert polygons

There are times when you need to convert a mesh into another geometry type. This topic contains references to the different ways to modify your polygon mesh.

Note: To convert polygons to NURBs, you must to perform a two-step conversion where you first convert the polygons to a subdivision surface, and then convert the resulting subdivision surface to NURBs. (For information on converting a polygon mesh to a subdivision surface, see the Subdivision Surface Modeling guide in the Maya documentation archive.) See Subdiv to NURBs in the Convert submenu for converting your subdivision surface to NURBs.
