How to select edit points on a line?

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 08:32:32 GMT

Hi friends,

I'm a newbie in Alias. I have drawn a straight line in Alias but CV Edit Points cannot select the points. I want to give that line a slight curvature shape.

Please guide me.

In a tutorial he was able to do that bu i'm not.

Thanks.

You have drawn the curve (yes, also a line is a curve, it just happens to be straight) with Keypoints. If you toggle the CVs of that curve visible (in the Control Panel or via Object Display > Control), then you can re-shape that curve (it will lose its Keypoints though). If you are after arcs, you can use the Arc Two Points or Arc Three Points, then you have Keypoint curves that allow you to change properties in the Information Window.
