Woodwoox,

Looks like Maya is being fickle. I think it won't let you delete the line because its a seam. You could move the seam. Just right-click on the sphere, select isoparm, and then move it to where you want to new seam to appear. With the new isoparm marking your new seam position, goto Edit NURBS and click Move Seam.

Or the second solution: Recreate the texture, but make it a 3D projection texture. Place it where you want on the sphere, and make sure you parent the projection placeholder to the eye.

Hope that helps,

Lu

edit: If you decided to do the 3D texture, place the iris somewhere NOT on the seam before you parent the texture node to the geometry.

That`s odd... Have you tryed to delete the control points there?
Never seen a bugged isoparp like yours man! Strange indeed!

But anyways... Button line... Start the eye again! New Nurbs sphere and all... :scream:
