With nurbs, you surfaces are calculated with multiple points alloing them to curve and fold uniformly. Other surfaces can achieve similar results but dont have the inherent continuity of nurbs. Sub' Ds come close but are bound by polygons, sharing both there ease and inconsistancy. but damn, Dont put poky's and sub d's out of the mix. they've earned there stripes.
im drunk and tired and i'm starting to ramble... where was i... oh yeah..
Going with trim is one way. But, with Nurbs surfaces, Booleans and trims are one and the same. as a matter of fact i got so used to nurbs, i rarely use the boolean tool over the trim tool.
I didnt really mean to say 'dont scare him' in such an abrupt way. It's just rare that i see newbies interested in Nurbs anymore.
Hell man... learn everything... but take it one step at a time. Finish your nurbs buddy. since you already started it.
Peace..

I appreciate the great help you guys give me!!!!Iron tick: I thought Booleans was only for polygons?
I try it but it says that object is not a polygon....hmm?
Nitro / mike : If i convert the nurb into polys i will have a lot of mishaped flat triangles, does that will affect negatively when i texture it?
Also if i wanted to project a curve, where is that option located?
For the record, I'm learning on my own and i haven't got in depht on polys and nurbs maybe 40% I'm learning as i go
(thanks to a great forum and people that take a minute and help guys like me grow knowlegde and interest in this field) Thanks in advance!!

Project a curve is in the EditNURBS menu as are booleans for NURBS.
