Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
nurbsToSubdiv is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command converts a NURBS surface and produces a subd surface.
The name of the new subdivision surface is returned. If
construction history is ON, then the name of the new dependency
node is returned as well.
| string[] |
The subd surface and optionally the dependency node name |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
