I bought Amapi Pro 7 because it was advertised as a NURBS modeler. I was not happy though with the lack of control or smoothing of the NURBS while modeling. And Amapi Pro 7 (with the 7.15 patch) has a bad habit of introducing random points into NURBS meshes which defeats the whole purpose of using NURBS in a precise manner. Amapi Pro 7 is a good intro to using NURBS for the academic price before using a better product. Some will say that HyperNURBS are not real NURBS. But if they work better... Sub-Division modelers are the thing now. Which is like an auto-polygon modeling mode. But Rhino3D is still the king of NURBS for automotive body designing.
