NURBS modeling: impossible to create model with 3 profiles and 3 rails?

Hi there.

I'm recreating my Thomas Daft Punk helmet, but now in NURBS. I made all the curves I need, but I can't create the shape. In Rhinoceros I'd just select the curves and the program would automatically create the shell, but in Maya I'm not able to do it.

How can I make this work? 
Thanks

What a nightmare. But I was able to solve it.
Basically, Maya's "snap to curve" doesn't work out of the box, and so I had to look for a solution. Even so, the snapping function doesn't work too well so I had to manually snap each endpoint on the curves.
Also, I had to delete half the model, I couldn't find a solution otherwise.
In the end, it worked, but clearly Maya's not that strong with NURBS modeling.
