Hi All,

Can someone give me a quick "how-to" on editing curves. No matter what curve type I create, I can't seem to go back and edit the points to refine the shape. I have tried all the curve types. I got one of them to work on a test shape, but then couldn't replicate it later.

FWIW, I am trying to create a cam profile with a diameter of about an inch.

Many Thanks!

CTRL D will turn on the control points

or you can use the hollow arrow (deep select)

OK....so it's working now.....honest, I tried that last night, and it simply wasn't working...

("Sure you did, Mark" they replied kindly, and looked at each other knowingly.)

Well, thanks for the tip, jol, and for getting me out of my funk...I do have a sweet looking cam lobe, now. Closing in on an animated V-8...nothing fancy, but nothing glaringly wrong, either.

Thanks again,
markb

Mark - I'd be interested to see if it's something you can show
