Grouping error

[Milk]

I am doing the Flower Power exercise using AM 12.0v on a Mac OS X (10.4.6), and I have noticed that I am having difficulty making a complete group from a lathed object.

 

I create a seven point spline, then I choose the control point nearest the X axis and hit Lathe.

 

It makes a nice round stem.

 

Then I try to group the control points manually (selecting a big box well around the entire stem), but I can't capture all the control points on the screen. Most points are green, but some remain red. I try Select All to capture all the control points before grouping, and it appears to work (all control points are green). I name the Group using the F2 key.

 

Then I choose Deselect All. I click on the Group in Project Workspace to check that the group contains all the stem's control points and it doesn't. This is regardless of how the group looked before I deselected (e.g. manual selection of points or Select All).

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Ah, i've had this. it hasn't happened in a while. try reintalling A:M or click one slpine and push the " / " key to "group connected" .that might work.

You probably have Mirror Mode on. Turn it off and you'll be able to select all the points you like.

That was exactly the problem - thanks so much
