Control Points vs. Through Points

Thanks Michael for putting the effort into created Moi3d. I've found the beta version extremely intuitive and easier to use than other nurbs modelers I've tried.

When I create a "through points" freeform curve, the curve flows through each point as expected. However, if I click "show points" the original points don't show up, instead I get a set of CV's instead. Is there a way to edit the original points? If not, what is an easy way to ensure that multiple curves intended for the network command are all intersecting fairly precisely?
thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan, I'm glad that you like MoI!

> Is there a way to edit the original points?

There currently isn't any way to do this. I would like to add this in the future but it won't be part of V1.

The Network command is pretty tolerant of curves not intersecting exactly, so it may be ok without further manipulation.

Another thing you can try is "drag point on curve" mode. This is a special mode that is available when you have control points turned on, it lets you grab on to a point directly on the curve and drag it to a new location, it is kind of like a temporary single "through point" drag. There are some more details here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=744.16

That might help you position the curve.

If you're having problems with getting a Network to work right, please post the curves and I can take a look and maybe give some more specific advice.

- Michael
