To help get started in creating surfaces there are four preset NURBS surfaces, found in the Add ‣ Surface ‣ NURBS Surface, NURBS Tube, NURBS Sphere and NURBS Torus.

There are also two preset NURBS surface curves (with only one control point on each V-row): NURBS Curve and NURBS Circle.

NURBS curve primitives.

Note how a circle NURBS surface is never filled, unlike its “real” curve counterpart...
