@krlosbernal16 You can find the background picture at the T-Splines website on the dolphin tutorial page.

the orange circle over the arrow isn't part of the plugin is it? Or is it just in the video so you can see where the arrow is?

[tsplines]

@phrawgg2 it's just part of the screen capture software. 

[tsplines]

@TAIVE16 yes, you need to have the t-splines plugin installed in rhino to get these commands. Get the plugin at tsplines.com

@tsplines

Thanks so much,

Maybe I am using a different version from your. I try to find tsSmooth Toggle in Rhino 4.0, but I just found out "smooth" command in Mesh tool.

I try to type "_tsSmooth" in command area, it didn't work

[tsplines]

@TAIVE16 You can extrude a face by running the tsExtrude command. You can also hold down the ALT key while dragging a manipulator while a face is selected.

@TAIVE16 Hi!

1. Run tsSmoothToggle to get smooth mode.

2. Marquee select the control points (click and drag a selection box around them) to get multiple ones.

3. Click the Mode in the Heads-up display until Edges show up to select edges.

@tsplines

4. I can even pick up the face to extrude a new face on it. And where is the function to extrude a new face from a selected face like you do in step of making nose of dolphin

@tsplines:

hi, I started using Rhino 4.0, I have some questions for you.

1. In step 1, which fuction can I make smoothbox, I just create Boxmode only

2. somehow I cannot use the move and scale manipulator to adjust the control points on side view that you do, I only drag one by one, that is quite slow.

3. I cannot pick up the edges on the model to drag as well
