Problem Grouping Points

[Mr. Bill]

Hello.

 

I have been working on the "Flower Power" Tutorial. I have viewed the video tutorial and gone through the book.

 

I can't get my click-drag to select all the points in, as example, the stem. I am in front view in model screen and I have lathed my spline. It looks fine.

 

However, when I try to group those points together by click-dragging as he does in the video, it only selects visible points.

 

It does the same thing with the rings: I will resize the middle of the top 3 rings, then look at it from a different view and realize that it is oblong.

 

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is there a function turned on or off that I am unaware of?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

PS. I have already exited the program and reopened it.

Taking a guess......

 

Select some of the cps on the stem and press the / key. This selects all the cps in the connected splines.

Do you have mirror mode turned on?

[Mr. Bill]

Do you have mirror mode turned on?

 

 

I have to admit, it looks like it is reacting to a mirror mode, because if I grab the points that HAVE selected and move the whole group, another set of opposite points will move in a mirrored fashion across the y-axis.

 

Only thing is...I can't find where to turn it off if it IS on. Help?

 

Thanks.

Well! LOok at that! I didn't realize that a toolbar would go off the screen. No wonder I couldn't find it! It fixed the problem.

 

Thank you one an all for the tag-team effort. Mucho appreciado!
