Default Mclaren tut - Im stuck:(

Hi,

Im on part 02 of the Mclaren tut (mc_laren_02 file ), Im joing up the polys, using the make polygon tool, now on this part

The guy says to add points on that line poly, then drag the points up, in the video when he does it, the whole line moves, but when I do it, it makes another poly line? :S



Im sure i added the points directly on the poly line, what am i doing wrong?

To add points to a spline be sure the spline is selected in Polygon mode then in point mode click on the spline with the add points tool.

That's odd. To add an extra point to a spline you just select the spline then without deselecting it change to point mode and click on the spline with the add points tool. If it isn't working at all you can just delete it and make a new spline with spline draw with the right amount of points in it.

Make sure the only thing selected is your spline when your adding points.

Ahh sometimes I find the most frustrating mistakes I make while using Lightwave have the most simplest of solutions. :bandit:
