You can convert Paint Effects strokes to NURBS using Modify > Convert > Paint Effects to NURBS. The benefit of converting Paint Effects to NURBS is you can work the Paint Effects objects as geometry. There is a NURBS Output section in the strokeShape Attribute Editor containing attributes for specifying converting to NURBS. For descriptions of the NURBS Output options in the strokeShape node, see NURBS Output.
