general questions 01
i draw a polygon curve. when i select and press F8 ,the size of the polygon gets smaller. why?
question
additional changes of copied objects
the firstly created objects i can take changes in the attribute editor. by a copied object the parameter are blocked.
concretly i want to refine the surface of a copied nurbs object.
question, coordinate direction local- world
a selected object, which place is not orthogonal to the origin, the coordinate pivot itself
how can i switch between local and world axis to transform objects?

you cannot change the construction history once you duplicated the object. you have to reduplicate. you can refine a nurbs by selecting an isoparm and insert isoparm.
question 3:
you can change to local or global mode in tool options of e.g. move tool. just open the tab next to attribute editor. dont know how to get the tool options other way - maya not on :p
