Hello friends
Is there a command that allows me to move control points like in this picture? The Endbulge command only changes the continuity at the connection points of the line.
Have you tried MoveUVN?

I don’t think MoveUVN matches what I want.
You can also drag a CP, or multiple selected CPs, with the mouse or with the gumball. Or you can use the Move command if you want to enter distance or snap to a direction.

Hello- the ControlPolygon option in DragMode will help.
DragStrength is also helpful here.

Another method is 1D scale. Lots of clicking , but it gets you there. Click on anchor, then point to move. Hope I am not wrong on this advice.—-Mark
This is one of those giant head scratchers from the user perspective. As a long time VSR user, I cannot for the life of me figure out why McNeel has not implemented something like this. Literally, I will not stop modeling on V5 until something approximating this exists on V…whenever. This is truly the most basic, fundamental thing when editing NURBS curves and surfaces. Also - should be noted that the tool includes blend laws, which are sorely needed in stock Rhino. The fact that we are in 2023 and there’s no proper blend law in Rhino, when we’ve got not just NURBS but Subd, is not something that’s defensible. Also - the Extrapolate feature is on CPM is invaluable as well.
@bobmcneel I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

I never knew about this… and it took quite long to realize that you need to have gumball turned off in order to get this working.

Hello pascal thank you, it looks like it will work for me.
Everything Sky said.

I definitely agree with skye but for now it is not possible to use VSR, at least for me because there is nowhere to download it. I hope McNeel will find a solution.
VSR/Autodesk shape modeling has been abandoned for quite some time.
Even if you bought a license back in the days, Autodesk killed the authorization servers, so you wouldn’t be able to install and activate it in any case.
Sky’s point was that some or all of the functionality should be incorporated into Rhino.
To a very small extend this has been happening, but the lack of functionality for control point modeling (blend laws, intuitive mouse control for control point manipulation, crowning ecc.) is particularly beyond comprehension.
