Freeship, show control curves??

Hi Guys, I'm new to Freeship. I've read the online manuals and searched the forum. Perhaps I just got tunnel vision... How do you display the control curves? I created a new curve (displayed in purple) clicked "show control curves" but no curvature is being displayed. Thanks for any help.

Select the curve by clicking it. It might be quite tricky to select the actual curve, visible as purple. After it is selected, the curvature graph is plainly visible if you have to "show control curves" selected.

Hi Liki,
thanks for your prompt reply. I still have no joy (selecting the purple line before or after selecting "show control lines").
Is there any other function or display modes that need to be selected or unselected? Currently I've only got the "control lines" selected/displayed.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean as your terminology seems different.

1) If necessary Click Visibility, Control Net
2) In any view point to red line, CTRL-Click to select entire line
(Click to select line segment between 2 control points)

This should highlight the control line, for example, prior to creating an edge for a hard chine.

Hope this helps.

Thanks ancient kayaker,
I've got it now, it was the hard chine. I like your name, it could be mine...

Glad to be of help. F/S is strange at first.
