to get more control over splines try right clicking on the spline and then converting the spling into an editable spline once you have done that right click on spline and manipulate the spline by making it a corner, smooth, beizerspline etc. You don't need to make one continous line(sort of), but you must make sure that all the verts are connected or your faces won't be created also preying to the gods always helps too. :)

ya i tried praying to the gods... asked them i wanted to be god to... but they just bolted me :( hehehe

Have you tried rightclicking over the vertexes and in the dialog box that opens, converting the vertexes into Bézier corner -type vertexes?
That way, you can tweak the (green) handles of the vertexes, making the spline take whichever shape you want.




Don´t mention it :) .

thanks man... thats what i was missing bezel thingy hehehe :), but one thing i find wierd that i havent found out yet was connecting 2 lines... just seems the only way i found out was using 3d magnet :(

On the rollout on the right side of the screen you have the option to connect two splines by selecting one,clicking"attach" and clicking over the second spline you want to attach it to.

Once this is done, you can select two vertexes and "fuse" them.
