Adding more points after a sweep

Hi Colin, you didn't do anything wrong there, Add points just doesn't function on surfaces right now, but it should get added eventually (not quite sure when).

This one isn't a bug - it is a limitation on how this type of geometry works.

Once you have joined pieces together along a common edge, you can't turn on points for that solid anymore except in the case where each of those surfaces has matching control points along a "natural trim edge".

See this post for some info on how a trim curve on a surface works: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=170.25

Once you have 2 surfaces which you have joined at a common edge, if I let you turn on control points and edit them, it would be really easy for you to pull one of the surfaces in such a way that a gap would open up along what should be a common edge.

Let me know if you need some more details on this one.


Probably surface control points won't get much attention until after the V1 release.
