Steve, Any more info on how to repeat? Do you still have the file? If so email and I will see if its fixable for tonights upload. Tim

I was not expecting(or looking for) a crash, so did not keep notes of steps etc as I was just drawing many different types of spline to check the "Modify slope" tool. I cannot repeat the crash at this time, but will keep better track in case it happens again. - Steve

Not yet, this just adds the ability to reverse the start/end slope of a control point spline. The extra flipping is based on which side of the surface you reference which I have not addressed yet.

I was expecting to select the control point spline near the end to change its direction, when in fact I need to select the actual control point. I e-mailed Tim with the explanation of my error. - Steve
