Ok, i'm on to modeling my second car and decided to model it using nurbs... I am in the process of making a silhouette of the car using CV Curves, but I was wondering if there is a way to draw on my reference pictures so that i can see what I am doing at this stage I can only see what I draw around the pictures... The body lines appear to be drawn behind the reference, although the appear once i change back to the perspective view, plus is there a way to modify a curve once its laid out..
Thanks alot

try moving your ref pics a bit further.

Thanks d24e but i just tried what you suggested and still the same results... i moved the ref pic about ever distance possible. Is it something to do maybe with what type of file i saved the images as or something else... I tried adjusting the transperency, but that was unsuccesful.. Maybe there will be some more suggestions, thanks for the effort

are you using image planes or just normal planes to place the pics on?

And to edit the curve after creating it hit F8 to go to component mode and then select Control Points and hey presto you can edit the curve user added image

SCRATCH THE ISSUE I FIGURED IT OUT ON MY OWN!!!! user added image

just to let anyone know who is reading this i solved it by using layers, i didn't know you could so instead of putting my reference on the main thing without a layer, i jus created a new layer and changed it to a reference and voila! Thanks for the info about editing curves also...
