constraint in the Order for a NURBS surface

Hi guys,

I just wanted to know why there is a constraint on the order of the Nurbs surface along U and V to be 6. I cant increase the order more than 6. I checked SurfNurb.c and its hard coded too.

Can anyone explain the reason behind this?

Thanks

the limitations in the user interface too perhaps ask on bf-funboard
