Hi Fredrik, Vesa and Chris..
I tested here on the vanilla V5.1 SP2..
And I can repeat the actual behavior..
I dunno if you have done exactly this to get the problems.... but here it
is..
When I change the 'Point Count' field in 'Spec' Tab to an enough low value
that changed the curve´s shape... then the 'New Point' Tool started to mess
up..
(Weirdest mess up, was that when trying to add a point, RS added so the
curve got an extention of it to infinity.. =) beyond the screen and to
infinity..=)
and it only rendered if changed 'Parametrization' to 'Uniform', it then
rendered the extra part of the curve, with a scanline type of odd shading)
Its not only the 'New Point' Tool that is messed up, its also the 'Sharpen'
and 'Break' Tool !
Workarounds I use:
Either just click on the 'Param' Tool (in the 'Controlbar')
Or
'Elevate by smoothing the Shape' Tool, and then after that the 'Reduce' Tool
to get back the Polygonal shape !
After this, the 'New Point' and those other tools works (as far as I have
seen it works everytime) until you reduce the 'Point Count' again..
Take Care

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a pattern for this
behaviour. All I can say is that from time to time this happens.
Usually closing the curve and breaking it open again fixes it. The
problem I had today, however did not go away. I had to re-make the
curve from scratch. (Not very difficult, but somewhat annoying)

Is the problem repeatable? If it is, please email me some instructions
(and/or test models). Thanks!
