Spline Modelling and Box Modelling

Not sure if I'm approaching Spline modelling wrong, but so far I'm not enjoying it compared to traditional box/poly modelling. 😕 But I find that when creating a shape with Splines/Lines, I have a hell of a time trying to clean up the edges/vertices afterwards. The end result is always an n-gon and I have to spend time trying to figure out where best to cut into it and connect vertices to make everything quads. Whereas with box/poly modelling, I can start with a primitive made of quads and keep adding/removing geometry and move things around to get the shapes I want.

 

Or am I just approaching things wrong with Splines...?

It would help to have a more detailed description of your workflow to answer your question. Can you provide a sample of a shape you are trying to create with line/spline and what you get for your first attempt at duplicating it and then the n-gon result?
