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.
