Point editing problems, in need of assistance!
GeniusAtWork:
Okay thanks for the help. i will try what you said and if it doesnt work i'll let you know 8)
GeniusAtWork:
I tryed what you guys said but it didn't work. Whenever I change to point edit the object just deselects :'(
GeniusAtWork:
I have found another tutorial thatmight work my point edit but any others would be much appeciated
Kubajzz:
Ok, let's try it step by step:
1. You have an object converted to mesh:
2. Switch to Point edit mode. The object deselects and the editable points should be visible if you are in wireframe view (if not, see the "configure GUI" box as hiho recommended):
3. Try to select some points:
4. When the points are selected, it will be possible to move them etc.:
If this doesn't help, tell me what point did you get stuck on... and maybe posting an image would help :)
Good luck

GeniusAtWork --- I'm guessing the primary reason your object de-selects is because you've inadvertently made it a Group (of objects). You can only edit ONE mesh at a time in Anim8or. This fact can actually be handy when you've got several complex meshes near each other. By selecting one or more objects and clicking Build > Group..., you can essentially prevent any changes to it (them) in Point Edit mode.
I suggest that (in Object Edit mode) you select the object(s) you want to edit and click Build > Ungroup (or use the "u" hotkey). If you've grouped more than one time, you may have to repeat the Build > Ungroup process until the object(s) you want to edit are completely ungrouped.
By the way, rather than using Build > Group, the way to combine meshes into one mesh is to select the two or more objects and click Build > Join Solids.
Also, by the way, a screen shot of what you're working with, like Kubajzz's example above, does wonders for conveying information for others to interpret.
Hope this helps...
