Excellent idea!

The best of both programs...who would have thought Rhino would become a plugin to MoI...:-) (well sort of)

I don't know if this is obvious, but I've had good results using sweep to rebuild (refit) curves for those that don't use/have Rhino.
By using the curve to be rebuilt along with a copy of it nearby, joining these two curves with two lines, and using the curves as the profiles in a 2-rail sweep (the lines are the rails) you can choose #points in the profiles dropdown and control how much to simplify the curve. Then just copy+paste the newly created surface lines - it seems to give good results, and the curve is clamped to the end points.

Hi Rhumba, yup that's a good trick for getting a rebuild in the current beta.

Both Sweep and Loft have an option to use the equivalent of Rebuild by that #points profiles option. I think if you use Loft you can skip your line drawing steps.

I just didn't have time to figure out where to place the UI access point for an actual Rebuild command quite yet.
