Please help with icreating a surface from imported Photoshop paths

[jclarkejr]

good morning CC,

in Photoshop CS5 i created 4 paths and imported them into Maya 2011.
this is a screenshot of the imported paths on top of my image plane: http://i.imgur.com/MY48P.png

the importred paths show up in the poutliner as NURBS curves: http://i.imgur.com/uu3JT.png

and appear to be like any other NURBS curves i've created following tutorials: http://i.imgur.com/WjGNV.png

however, when i try to make a surface out of this curve using Planar: http://i.imgur.com/q7Ibr.png

i get a result like this: http://i.imgur.com/3QVkd.png

what am i doing wrong?

thank you!

What you get  would be the control points that's what you asked. And control points of the object are untrimmed. Choose a different tessellation method.
