Richard,
I don't know how polygon-to-spline conversion works, but it appears that a
point-to-point basis is used. I wonder if it would be practicle instead to do
an Object A-to-Object B conversion of the surface that is represented by the
points in a polygon model to the minimum number of points required to achieve
the same surface in a spline model. If there was a conversion routine like
that, I think it would accelerate the move from polygon modeling to spline
modeling.
