SPLINES TO NOWHERE....

[Kelley]

Lately I've had splines leap away from a CP and go as far as A:M can see. [ I'm using A:M v.11] I've zoomed out as far as A:M can go, and no end in sight. Sometimes it's happened as I've connected two points with another spline. The ones in this pic happened when I extruded a ring of eight CPS. Is this a problem? They can't be selected or deleted. But when I rotate the model, they disappear in most of the views.

I have seen this but not in a while. You should always indicate what version you are using. I'm not sure what causes this. What I do is either:

 

a) Hit the space bar to refresh

 

If it's still there try 'Undo'

 

c) If that doesn't work I select all the CPs I can see, invert the selection and hit delete. Then I repair the mesh and carry on.

I had that happen in v10 and v11. Not that I've noticed it in v12. Maybe an update is in order.

That happens in my 10.5. If I have 2 modeling windows open, one of them will act like that sometimes, the other one will stay ok. Suggestion: Close that window and open a new one.

If you placed your model in a choreography (or action) and you have your choreography (or action) window opened while you edit your model in the modeling window, then close the choreography or the action window and this should get back to normal.

I'll have to keep this in mind, but in this case, it's a new model. It has not been put in the Choreography, nor has it had an action made for it. Thus: nothing to close.
