Depending on what surface creation command you're using you can also control at least one direction of the generated surface by rebuilding the curves though.

It looks like in your case there you're probably using Sweep. There is also a "Profiles" option in Sweep that controls what method is used to synchronize multiple profiles together into a single structure to be used in the surface. One of the options is a "# of points" method where you can put in the number of points to be used for resampling them. If you use that method you'll be able to control the number of points in at least one direction of the surface, but the sweeper will put in as many points as needed in the other direction in order for the sweep to conform to the path curve.

Excellent idea ! Thank you very much Michael.

This feature could be the second milestone in MOI's development (FLOW was first) ! ;)

+1 for this feature request.

Being able to simplify the # of points on a surface and tweak it by pulling a few verts would be really useful for those objects you often have to create which are a little more organic in shape.

I do agree that if most of the model is organic in shape then its best to do that work with a poly modeller.

Hello,

If you happen to have Rhino the VSR (now Autodesk) Shape Modeling Plug-In for Rhino allows you to do some really slick control point modeling. It was on special for three bills and change but I think it's around $1300 at this point. The worst part about the application is when Autodesk bought it they integrated their awful licensing mechanism into the product. If you can live with that (and the cost) it's really a great set of tools to use along with MoI
