Pen tool will work but to insert a point you just need to be in Move, Scale or Rotate modes and ctrl-click will work. You can also use the Create Point tool.

it only works on editable splines not parametric splines – e.g. if you add a Circle spline you’d have to make it editable first – and you have to be in point mode but ctrl-click should work
-
I don’t think so
-
when you are extruding is Preserve Groups checked? It should be on by default but it would break exactly like you describe if it was not checked

interesting, I don’t know a whole lot about ProRender but… – the sphere and the Glass are both transparent, I put a checkerboard on the Plane and both are see through. I guess the problem you have is the Face not showing up. It apparently disappears in the render behind the Glass but if you render it with Standard or Physical you can see the Face behind the Glass and in the sphere (you can also see a black patch in the sphere in the same place in prorender as where the better image of the Face shows up in Standard and Physical so it’s working a bit).
My guess (since I don’t know a lot about prorender) is this is a limitation of prorender’s current implementation since they are still working on it or the tiny scale you are working at, the sphere is 0.25 cm in radius and the Glass is 0.001 cm thick. Perhaps Prorender can’t work at that scale (though obviously Standard and Physical can (as can Redshift))
– perhaps someone with more prorender knowledge will know something to tweak in the renderer’s settings -
by the reflections on the back it looks transparent but it’s hard to tell with black on black like that, can you post the scene file?
-
there should not be any trouble texturing an extruded plane but it sounds like you created the caps after some steps, try extruding again but create the caps in the Extrude tool by checking Create Caps in the tool’s settings
-
another possibility is the Stop Tag
-
unless you have to don’t try to make it all from one object, cheat, make it out of separate pieces. That’s assuming I understand what you are trying for and I’m not sure about that.

probably have to see the scene file to find out what’s going on
