From NURBS Control Polygon

The ExtractControlPolygon command fits a polyline through the control points of a curve or a polygon mesh through the control points of a surface.

Select curves or surfaces.
This creates polylines and/or meshes that have vertices at the original objects' control points.

Command-line options
OutputLayer	Specifies the layer for the results of the command. Current Places the results on the current layer. Input Places the results on the same layer as the input curve. Note: If the input object is in a model that is attached using Worksession, the object will be placed on the current layer. TargetObject Places the results on the same layer as the target surface.
