I notice that when I add a new nurbs object, it has more lines (patches?) than before. And when I use the refine patch tool, it now adds three new lines instead of just one as before. My guess is that I have changed a setting somewhere, but I can't guess where. Any clues?


Thanks for any suggestions.

when you right click any nurbs primitive icon the settings options available to that shape are adjustable on the panel that appears..longitude & latitude adjust how many rows of control points there are ..
when using the refine patch tool, first get the row to highlight [orange]. then you must click and drag the newly created row of points into position then release ..clicking again creates another new row hth :cool:

Stan,


Thanks, but the problem is that when I use the refine patch and click and drag, it produces 3 new rows instead of just the 1. 2 extra new rows appear evenly spaced in between the old one and the new one I have just dragged. It didn't do this before. Something has changed. But I don't know of any settings that I have changed that would cause this.

Stan,


I am using 5.2. I may just re-install if I can't find a setting to fix this.

John, you could try deleting the "truespace.cfg" ..then re-open truespace..sometimes it helps

I would suggest a picture is worth a thousand words. Perhaps an image or two would help us to figure this out for you.
