  • unable to control bezier curve handles

    Posted by Eugene Hooper on August 10, 2009 at 1:45 pm

    Hey guys, I’m not sure whether this is the source of the problem but recently I upgraded to R10.5 from 10.111 or something. There were only minor noticeable changes but nothing major. I created some basic 3D extruded type that followed a spline path using a bezier curve, some text and the sweep NURBS. However, I found that whenever I clicked on my spline path, I wasn’t able to click and drag the handles to control the shape of the curves. I even zoomed right up to try click precisely on the dot but all it did was disappear as soon as I clicked. Plus a circle mark show

    Any ideas? It’s becoming frustrating for the type composition I’m trying to make. Currently I’m having to shape these paths by selecting the main points and moving them around manually. Tedious.

    Thanks in advance, Eugene

    This is just the same in 10.5 as it was in previous versions (unfortunately). The move tool has to be active in order to manipulate the bezier handles. Dollars to donuts you’ve got the select tool active.
