I learned the basics in Rhino a few years ago but was unable to practice beyond that - yesterday I installed the Version 6 (6.3.18090.471, 3/31/2018) evaluation but am having no luck “seeing” any control points.

Is this something that’s changed for Rhino 6, or am I missing some vital setting? Due to my overall lack of experience with the earlier versions I’m not sure if this is something ridiculously basic/etc (please pardon me if so).

Screenshot of a leaf I’d like to tweak the curves on:

My current point settings:

I would appreciate any advice! All the online tutorials are for earlier versions of Rhino but my evaluation of the older version has expired (I am able to see/manipulate control points in that version).

Hi Pascal. After chatting with support I updated my graphics driver but that did not resolve the issue (maybe it’s just inadequate?).
