= SUMMARY =

This article offers a tip for skinning NURBS profile curves together.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When skinning NURBS profile curves together there are a few steps you can take to ensure that the shape of the profile curves does not change (a common problem when points contain different weights).

Where you have weighted points before skinning, make the weighted points the same across the skin. If this doesn’t work, you may have to eliminate the weighting by converting your NURBS to B-splines and back again to NURBS with Effect Convert (activate the “Keep Curve and NURBS” option).
