Michael you are correct, What is also confusing to me is why would they want the conversion to Nurbs to happen inside Blender. Alias comes with SpeedForm a Fusion 360 (T-Splines) clone that doesn’t have the cloud infrastructure.
Anyway considering the paper been discussed here, the some group of people have publish some additional reasearch papers on the subject. http://neildodgson.com/pubs/
Converting a CAD model into a non-uniform subdivision surface. NOW that would be a dream come true feature to have inside MoI :)
