Okay, that shows the curvec, but what I'm really look for the CVs so that I can see which direction each curve goes and where they begin and end.

Select the curves to be used, then press F8 to switch to component mode. This should display the CVs. Capture that and post.

Also, don't need to see the whole head, just the area you working on, and I suspect the problem is in the curve(s) definine the eye.

I suspect that the number of vertices is not the same for opposite curves and also on the image you posted you selected the curve below the eye you need to be selecting the one above the eye

Okay, I'm not familiar with the tutorial your doing, and since I can't see your CVs. I decided to expirement to see if I could duplicate your problem...

I can make this happen only if the eye loop is a single closed curve. So, you should be able to detach the curve so that the top is a separate curve. once the top curve is separate you should have no problem birailing with it.

thanks heaps for your help so far.....the tutorial is from the 'Learning Maya - Modeling' DVD. And the instructor actually says that is okay to be a single closed curve. Or thats what I think he means. What would you advise?

And how do you tell what direction the curves go....why would this make a difference? I really like this method of modeling, even if its currently giving me a hard time. What method do you prefer for modeling?

Anyways....much appreciate the help again.

even if you seperate that curve your still going to have a nasty mesh your going to have to rebuild your curves so they have the same amount of spans otherwise you get isoparms all over the place
