Probably just my lack of experience with it. Like a lot of other things,
once you know it, it may seem 'easy'.

I actually have a lot of experience with surface construction and
debugging,
but find the 'Edit>Definition' of im****ted features so totally obscure, I
probably dodn't try very hard. What are you supposed to do with the one
'Modify' icon you're presented with!?!

Maybe, but he was trying to deal with IBL im****ted curves and there
doesn't
seem to be much you can do with them, except through the MM interface
that's
provided with 'Edit>Definition' as I described.

I guess I'm softening in my old age because I've usually prefaced answers
to
questions like this with more questions, to gain definiton of the problem.
So, you're right, we're guessing. I guess wrong a lot and don't like to
play
that game. Maybe we should make a pact to "nail" the OPs and find out
exactly what they want, what their situation is, what they've tried, i.e.,
get a more complete story, before we go out on a limb with an "educated"
guess. After all, the education was from other, 'similar' questions that
may
not be similar at all. And, as an aid to that definition, I have been
pu****ng, here and with USENET, for making this a binary NG. I'm sure
there'd
need to be a vote; tell me you hate/love the idea.
