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
