How to add a control point to a spline? (+more)

Hi,

 

I apologize if this is a repost, but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer when I searched the forum. I'm switching over from Solidworks, and I have a few questions about how studio splines work in NX:

 

1. I have a studio spline that I created by clicking on some imported points. Now that the main shape is created, I'd like to add some more points to adjust some bumps that resulted. However, when I go into "Edit Parameters" and try to add a new point, the point is just added to the end of the list, and connects it to the last point on my list. I can't drag the point to a different position on the list, nor can I seem to snap a point to the spline itself.

 

I tried the ideas suggested in this thread, but none of the recommendations helped.

 

How do you add a new spline control point to an existing spline? This was super easy in solidworks - I just right-clicked the spline and chose "Add new control point". Is there something similar in NX?

 

2. How do I close a spline? Even after I've selected the spline plane, the studio spline tool won't let me close a spline by clicking on the point I selected to begin the spline. Is there another way to do this?

 

3. Is there a way to display the spline poles? (I think that's what they're called!) There are grey shapes in the studio spline logo that look a lot like the "control polygons" from splines in Solidworks. Those were really useful in Solidworks, it would be great to be able to use them in NX as well!

 

Thanks!
