Hello,

I was wondering. How do you show and edit a surfaces isoparms or control points?
A function that I thought didn't exist, until I found this video by Andrei: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IR1LIpyVGA&list=UUNPkL8Sj4dm-Vr5yT8Jym8Q

Would love to know how to edit surfaces like that... A script? A hotkey?

Hi Fake Pilot, see the FAQ answer here:

You're probably currently trying to turn on control points for a solid that is made up of surfaces that join at trimmed edges. If you use Edit > Separate to break that object into individual separate surfaces, then you can select any of those surfaces and turn on their control points with Edit > Show pts.

Usually you can only edit single surfaces this way, not solids, with some exceptions for cases of a solid where all surfaces have their underlying surfaces naturally touching each other like with a box.
