SubD to NURBS
For designers exploring form-finding while facing manufacturing requirements, 
MatchSubD
bridges the gap between SubD and Surface modeling, allowing you to connect boundary edges of both geometry types. It includes smooth tangent control.
SubD to Curve
Take SubDs beyond the design exploration phase! Use MatchSubD
to adapt a SubD boundary to a curve that is part of the design requirements. This is especially useful when matching openings to a circle, often part of the manufacturing constraints.
SubD to SubD
When concept modeling with SubDs, you often need to match boundary edges of different edge counts. This is now possible using MatchSubD
. The cherry on the cake? You can match to tangency between SubDs!
