Nice to see an active forum! THX! Waldo

Thanks for all the fast responses! Waldo

Works! It was just knowing the right name of that command! Is there a way to set the prefs to an Azerty keyboard? Now A=Q Shift-Z to fit in view is Shift-W Or must I asign all shortcuts to my keyboard? Thx! Waldo

I know you can use the tilde-key to join splines or press the Left and the Right button on the mouse. But.. I'm on a Azerty-keyboard so there is no tilde-key AND I use the Mac with a mighty mouse. I can't press left and right at the same time. (if can I? ) PLUS I can't assign a shortcut since there is no Join or Spline join command? I search the forum but with no luck. What are my options here? Waldo

Nope, I was looking for the video-tutorial. Still offline. But I'm reading the PDf right now ;-) It stays a real challenge to come from polygonmodelers to this spline-modeler. (Also because I'm still modeling in other apps ) But I'm getting there. I just needs exercise, exercise... and exercise! Waldo

Hm... Giraffe tutorial is offline. Any idea where to get my hand on it? Waldo

Wow! These links will help me a lot with understanding splines-modeling! This is a very helpfull forum! Thx! Waldo

Will do that giraf-tutorial this evening! I just found more info in the manual (Working with splines P206, 261) Strange it's located almost at the end of the manual, because it's the first thing you need before texturing, rendering and finally animation. Thanks again for the input! AM seems very powerfull! Waldo3D

Wow! That was a fast reply. THANKS! How do you divide an existing square (I din't want to use the word polygon here )? Like as you would add an modeled arm to a body, but the 4 splinepoints are to far from eachother and I need a smaller square. Sorry for the bad technical terms. I'm learning here. Waldo

Hi there, I've bought AM a few days back, so I'm a newbie here... I can model basic stuff so far, extruding splines, connecting and so on. No problem. The video-tutorials are very helpfull so far. I work also with polygon modelers like Silo, Wings and Strata, so there is a big differents in working with splines. What I really need (and don't find) is a basic tutorial how to: - add points on a spline (If I have points, i can connect them, but I need new ones) - how to connect curved edges to a flat surface (like a tube on a cube) - how to make sharp edges - how to smooth out hard connection/extrusions - how to add tickness - and so on....... Working with splines is a bit confusing in my polygon mind Any help or directions to a (video)tutorial would be nice! Waldo
