I have a nurbs model made in Rhino3d that's been imported into Moray as a
UDO, but I am not able to convert it to a Moray mesh to add UV mapping. In
another case, I found a mesh off the net and converted it to a UDO using
rhino, and I am able to convert it to a mesh. What determines if a UDO can
be converted to mesh?

Hi Sean Johnson, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Ususally you can't turn an UDO into a mesh, because an UDO does not
have face data. I did update the UDO format recently to support faces,
but I'm not sure that Rhino updated their exporter...

Basically, if you can see a solid representation in Moray, then you
can convert it to mesh, otherwise, you can't.
