I am working through the tutorials and am currently in the one on morphing objects. On page 16-15 of the tutorial manual, it says "Using Path/Move Vertec, select the back end vertex of the path and use the spline contrl to curve the path." I can not figure out how to adjust the spline of the path! Can someone clue me in on this one? Thanks.

<<Path/move/vertex>> Once you move the vertex and click to drop it at the new location, CONTINUE HOLDING THE BUTTON. You can now move your mouse to drag spline control arrows for curvature adjustment. – Dave

David Marks has your answer. Think back to the 2D Shaper tutorials you just finished where you dragged the mouse to adjust the Bezier spline vertices. The path in the 3D Lofter is just another spline, and you adjust its vertices in the same way. – Jack

Thanks for the replies. I spent a lot of time looking through the various manuals and just couldn't find the place where this is described! One of those things that was about to drive me crazy!
