Now non-uniform rational B-spline is shortened to NURBS so if you hear anybody talking about NURBS you know that NURBS relates to splines. We'll look at splines in a moment let's look at editing some polylines first. We're going to zoom in on these two desks here the little sort of reception area like so.
