nurbsCube([axis=[linear, linear, linear]], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean],
[degree=int], [heightRatio=float], [lengthRatio=float], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [patchesU=int], [patchesV=int], [pivot=[linear, linear, linear]], [polygon=int], [width=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
nurbsCube is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The nurbsCube command creates a new NURBS Cube made up of six
planes. It creates an unit cube with center at origin by default.

parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
