use Snap to Curve and then just run through the intersections again,.,, should solve it, otherwise, i think its the history....

yea i know..snap to curves....

i was wondering if there was a more efficient way of snapping points to the curves...because not all cv's lie on the path of a curve...so sometimes snapping a cv to a curve doesnt' actually snap it to the curve.....


nurbs is very frustrating.......user added image
