Hi,

From a polygon shape, twisted and from that got splines.

most of time I having this difficulty… its some kind or starting basic question but… I think not much late to ask…!
At bottom point I have to make some bends, which view have to use…? If I use front or side view and make spline bend in perspective view points are so far and in L shape.

Splines are not fully front or side angels, Which view I have to use…?
And Do the spline points have soft selection option as polygon points have…?

I saw some splines in Maya, which works fine and new points are along the spline flow and in C4d creating new points goes to end world…!

Thanks.

Hi iacdxb,

Thanks for the file, very much appreciated.

Select the last three points of the spline, then use the Align Workplane to selection. The Grid in the perspective view will change to have all three points on this Worldplane [Grid].

The next point you set (Shift or CMD, while in point and move mode) will be placed on this Grid.

Reset the Workplane to your liking.

Here is a short screen capture:
