Deleting Control Points From Existing Spline.

I have another question about an existing knife handle design issue. The handle has a specific shape I needed to copy for machining so divided it up in .25" sections longitudinally following the same method of boat builders lofting a canoe. The top edge of the handle is flat and the opposite edge (bottom) has several curves. In order to keep the same curve line I measured down from the top line and placed control points every .25" apart at the proper measured distance.  I used spline to connect the dots and completed the curves to match the original design. From there I drew vertical planes (like canoe stations) at each control point pair so I could loft them into  3D and make a solid and it worked well. Now I want to take the original 2d drawing of the profile with the splined curve and extrude it but I can't delete the control  points I laid down for the spline which is preventing me from completing the sketch like normal to move on and extrude to a solid.

Thanks for looking,

Rod

There is no model to look at.  Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

The workflow you are describing is unlikely going to result in a smooth spline curves.

If you can share the design we can provide better advice.
