I almost never use control points because almost everything I do is strictly by the numbers, so I draw everything with specific measurements, and I have little need to modify something with a control point. From time to time the control points cause me a problem though, for example if I have a lot of geometry close together, and I want to move some, but not all, I will select everything, then use ctrl and drag a box to unselect what I don’t want, but sometimes I will unselect a control point, and then when I do the move, that one point stay behind completely deforming my object.
I’ve found I can eliminate this problem by turning off control points by right clicking this button:
But it only works for the current selection, as soon as I select something new, I get control points again. so, I find I am pushing that button constantly, like hundreds of times a day, to make sure I don’t inadvertently change my geometry with a control point.
So, is there some way to make Control Points OFF the default, and it I want them I’ll push the Control Points On button? That would be SO Helpful, but I can’t see where I can make points off the default… but it seems like there should be a way to make Points off the default, because if it wasn’t the default to have points off, they why would there need to be a Control points on button?? that button would serve no purpose, and its primary function is to turn points on. So, it seems like there must be a way to get into a mode where points are off when you make a selection, making that button useful for something.
