Script to convert polylines to curves?

(A couple of questions that are not very important.)

Is there a script to convert polylines to either control point curves, or through point curves?
I thought I might try one...

Downloaded a pelvis at 3dDoctor.com
The .iges version loads in Moi as line segments, which when joined, are closed polylines.
They might loft smoother as closed curves?

The .obj loads in Moi with about 65k surfaces. I was able to join it up as a solid,
at 189,223 bytes. It has lots of triangles. Is there some way to use polygon converter to smooth this very large solid?

Hi Brian, yeah it's very likely that lofting through smooth curves will be a lot better, lofting through polylines will make a lot of faceted faces.

For converting polylines to a through point curve the Rebuild command will do that, set it to "Mode: Endpoints" and it will make a curve passing through every segment endpoint.
