It may seem that NURBS surfaces are inappropriate for complex models. Although NURBS are difficult to master when it comes to organic modeling, they are actually well suited for anything that is mechanical or man-made. The trick is to think in parts.

Wow...an awfull lot of steps for such an easy surface.
Is there no sweep command in Maya? For me as a working Rhino specialist Nurbs are my job.
I would have drawn a railcurve and the profile of the box...sweep it and your done. Thats 2 curves and one command and you get one nurbs surface.
