Why not do an Internet search on the question "What is NURBS modeling?"

You won't get many responses here if at all. Try asking at the AutoDesk, Solidworks and Microstation forums. You might also post the same question at the CATIA and Creo Elements forums too.

Doesn't look like you have gotten much in the way of a response. You might want to try those other websites I mentioned previously.

Hmm...I clicked on this conversation because although I have many years experience with autocad. I never had the need for the 3d capabilities til now. So that being said. I've been teaching myself. My question is?
Can you extrude,loft,sweep,revolve an ellipse in two directions or is it three? like some appliques I've seen? If so, How?

Yes, you can extrude, loft, sweep and revolve an ellipse. What are you trying to create?

See ellipse block in "New blocks"... instead of creating the rafters one by one for a roof. I wanted to generate the shape and slice it...I couldn't figure out how I could do that.

You would slice it using the SLICE command wouldn't you? Maybe I'm not following you. Sorry.
OK, I gave it some more thought. Tell me if I am on the right track.
Basically you want to create an elliptical dome with a thickness of 6.0 units (I based this on your original drawing) then you want to slice it into multiple sections of 1.5 units?
