I have a smoothed elliptical window frame that I am trying to convert from a nurbs piece to polygons. When I go to Modify -> convert -> NURBS to Polygons, the model does not change to polygons. Instead it remains as a nurbs model. I am only trying to convert it so i can create UVs’ for it. If anyone can figure this out please help me out.

Have you tried resetting the convert tool settings?
Also, NURB’s have UV’s built in, no reason to convert there…

I reopened the file and it seems as though it converted on its own. It must have been a little glitch before. Earlier I was trying to use the nurb UVs’. Thank you very much for your help.

maybe there something wrong with your NURBS model, you should first, duplicate it, then delete the construction history n rebuilt it n delete the history again, then u may want to reset the tool of convert and it should work
