Break Segment doesn’t seem to work.

Hi,

In a few of the Modeling 101 Tutorials, I have my students outline half of the object (fork, spoon, etc.) in preparation of mirroring.  Sometimes the first and last points will be joined by a spline line.  It seems very difficult to break this line between the first and last points.  I have selected the first and last points, right-clicked, and selected “break segment” but nothing happens.  I have tried adding points on the line that I want to remove and then breaking a smaller segment between them to no avail.  I have also double checked to make sure there aren’t multiple points on the same coordinates.

I know this is user error, but I am not sure what I am not doing correctly.

Thanks for helping the noobs grin

It sounds like Close Spline is enabled. With the spline selected, just uncheck “Close Spline” in the Attribute Manager.
