Hello there, I had this problemo as well on the mac and after finding this thread was thankfully able to get back to modeling on A:M 16. However I have another license and am having the exact same issue on my pc. Any suggestions? Thanks, aj

I don't know what's going on but I feel like the guy in that Twilight Zone episode who lost his keys and suddenly they've been put back in a place where he's already looked for them by the guys who make a new complete reality for every minute of existence. We simply pass through these separate realities and think they are one and the same. MY CONTROL POINTS ARE BACK!!! I was just going over Rodney's comment and wondering what the difference between Direct3D or OpenGL was and I thought I'd look through the Tools Options. Under Global I noticed Undo was set to 20 so I clicked on Unlimited and hit OK. I went back to my model and thought, "Why not try selecting a CP?" It turned Green. What the fuuuuhhhhh?! I set Undo back to 20 and I can still select my CP's so thanks for your help Rodney, Fuchur, Gerry, largento, and Caroline, after a not so sumptuous dinner, this made my Thanksgiving. Now I can get back this model. Goodnight folks, namaste, aj

Hey Rodney, I think I'm using Open GL, at least under Tools Options Global Tab, Open GL is the only thing that comes up in the Real-time Driver. I'm running version 15.03 of AM. I tried another screen shot too.

Hi Caroline, no I can't select a single control point either, when I do if it's roughly two inches below a place on screen where there are cp's than one or more will be selected depending on whether I;m trying to select one or many. If I zoom out and there are no cp's roughly that same distance above where I'm selecting I get nothing. Here is a screen image with the model selected in PWS. (It had been unselected in the View tab) Also do the Compensate lines have anything to do with this and how does one remove them, is this off topic? thanks and Happy Thanks if you're in the US and celebrating, aj

Thanks guys, let's see if I get this pic to you. Also I noticed that the grid is not viewable, does this have anything to do with what function I have selected that is causing this problem? Or do the red marker lines have anything to do with it, how do I remove them? Thanks Aj The bottom wing is the one I'm trying to select but the top wing is highlighted. I also noticed that if I Zoom out some and grab the bottom wing, it will not select the top wing. It seems to be a specific distance and not a measurement on the grid.

Hi Rodney, I am unaware of how to do a screen capture, would you mind running me through it? I double checked those buttons on the tool bar (Mirror Mode, Magnet Mode, Compensate , Snap Manipulator to Grid) and none of those are checked. This might also help describe what's going on to you, I just tried drawing a spline and it made the new spline about ten squares above where my cursor was drawing. Similarly when I select an area with the cursor another part of the model above where I am selected becomes highlighted as I described earlier. I'd love to be able to show you, so I'll await your reply and screen capture you what's the haps. Peace out Rodney, talk to you in a bit, aj

Hey folks, can anyone help me, I'm working on a model and suddenly I can't select any control points. If I click on one or any of them nothing happens that I can see. On a rare occasion if I try and grab a whole section of points the green selection box will grab another area of the model. I tried opening older versions and the same thing happens, which is nothing, so then I thought perhaps reinstalling the software might help. It didn't, same problem. I'm going through the Posts now to see if this has happened to anyone else but I may as well start a new post also and get the ball rolling, Help me animation masters, I'm getting desperate. Aj

thanks for responding Luuk, i just found the section in the manual that covers this and am about to go through the tutorials, aj

Hi there, I have a question regarding outputs, can A:M output to HD or Dv? thanks aj
