Sorry, I'm not understanding this part. Do you mean something like the .Brep file would contain both a mesh version and a NURBS version of the same object?

And that would be something you would create in FreeCAD and then send into MoI for conversion?

But would the mesh be a sub-d control cage mesh or just a rendering mesh made up of triangles only?

If it's a triangle render mesh and there is no sub-d control cage mesh then how would the sub-d converter find a sub-d control cage for the conversion?

And if there is a NURBS version of the object already in the file then why not just transfer the NURBS version over itself, why would there be any polygon to NURBS conversion needed?
