| Which Amapi tool does this operation? http://nevercenter.com/index.php/Videos/516 has a Silo movie showing subdivision with creases. Is there an Amapi movie showing the same operation with one of its tools?

Have you try the "Mold" Tool ? You can choose radius of influence (size), and coef of inertia.

Yes. But it only attracts BREP points. Not NURBS surfaces, as far as I can tell. I saw a video at http://www.caligari.com/products/tru...4pointedit.wmv showing what Truespace can do with NURBS and I wanted to see how Amapi D/P 7 did the same thing (stretching a plane to make a nose for a spaceship). And particularly the bit near the end of the video where a cylinder is shown being stretched at the top and the sides of it buldge in and out. Also, how does Amapi D/P 7 use control points like this http://www.caligari.com/products/tru...s/wmv/nd00.wmv video shows?

The videos you talk about (with TrueSpace) don't show NURBS surfaces. There are all poly smooth surfaces. You can do like this with amapi, with the DG :

The DG seems to have less control over points and curves than Cinema 4D and Truespace do. I was hoping Amapi D/P 7 could manipulate NURBS cylinders the same way that Truespace 6.6 does. The Caligari video showing how to make a boat using NURBS in Truespace 6.6 looks very efficient and easy to manipulate the corners of NURBS exactly.

Sorry i haven't see in your message something talking about nurbs and not poly. look like more to patch nurbs that kind of stuff ... not same things.

My BREPs get pulled apart when I stretch them and my NURBS object falls apart. Is there a way to weld BREPS together? I'm hoping Eovia fixes this if it's not possible now. I'm really interested in doing 100% NURBS modeling with Amapi Pro 7.
