If you like direct NURBS modeling, SW is a poor choice. The standard
responses to NURBS questions are Rhino and SurfaceWorks. Rhino can be
used in a semi-parametric fashion if you know SW well. SurfaceWorks
is pretty powerful and has a nicer integration, but the integration
isn't complete. You wind up working in a separate window, but the
surfaces you create can be edited.

If you're going to do shapes in SW, it is best to do them natively in
SW. If you feel you can't make it happen, your best choice is to look
at another package that handles complex shapes differently.
