Everytime I can't do something in MOI it breaks my heart....seriously
hopefully we'll see the continuity options in V3, as I think that they're very important.
Continuity is not something that exists only in organic models...look at a car or a boat for example.
This patchwork method is sometimes inevitable in some models and to be honest I still find the NURBS method way faster. I managed to do this in MOI (with the help of Rhino of course) in a matter of no more than 5 minutes. Doing it in Modo would be a more trial and error thing.
If anybody can think of a method to get that result without leaving MOI Id be interested to know
