I don't really know that much about nurbs, but I'm think a curve has to be planar to make a planar surface... Hence the name user added image

As I said I don't know much about nurbs, so I'd probably advise you to convert to polys, add faces to close the hole and then convert to sub-d's or smooth the polys... I can't remember the convert settings, but Kurt goes over the process in the free cartoon dog tut...

i'd spit the curve at the corners and use a birail operation. However i'm the same as blomkaal, i don't really know much about nurbs as i try and stay away from them, more of a polys -> subd person. Sorry

How about cut this curve into four part, and use Surfaces -> Birail 2 tool to build a nurb face?

some may forget you, but never would i...

Hey Mad_Majd....How about you split the curve in the center so that you end up with two curves and then loft between those curves and then rebuild the surface it creates and then curve snap or point snap the points on that surface so that it sits nicely with the rest of the surface...thats How I would go about doing it.... user added image

Hope it helps you out.... user added image
