New Nurbs Surface Modeling

Blender's Nurbs Surface Modeling is actually a really good, however, it's also a somewhat of a Broken Under-Dog.

Idea for changing it and making more attractive to Industrial/Product Designers.

  1. do away with the Resolution feature, I have see comments across social media of people complaining that Surface Nubrs Modeling in Blender is jagged and its because they don't know about the Resolution Settings, so do away with it make it sharp. With modern computers there is really no need anymore for this feature.

  2. The following would be the biggest change. Instead of having to Shift A to access Surface Nurbs Modeling options, Give it a tab at the top. That Tab would open an entirely new menu for Surface Modeling with Nurbs. The menu could have a similar feel to that of MoI3d, Plasticity etc.- Modern Simple Clean and easy to understand.

I'm an Industrial Designer who was lucky to have had an Art Teacher that pushed me to learn old school Drafting skills, which for me make it actually easier to learn and use Blender, CAD etc., it also allows me to see how UI can be change and cleaned up. Blender 5+ is actually really great, however older UI and Features still need modernizing.
