How to show the handles of my Bezier Curve?

[drpeppercan]

I have chosen all the Handle type choices available (Automatic, Vector, Aligned, etc) and non show any handles.
What am I missing?!

Thanks guys

Your curve is probably in PolyCurve. It’s what happen when you convert a mesh to curve. In edit mode, go to Curve->Spline Type->Bezier

To create it I just used the contextual pop up menu with Shift a

So I did what you suggested:

But it told me: “At least 6 points required for conversion”

My curve has 5 points. I suppose I could always add one more point.
But my curve is already a Bezier curve:

Thanks for your suggestion Darknoodles

Have you tried other handle types ?

@drpeppercan
Ok i found the tip. Path is a special type of curve. So yes, it seems like you can’t convert Path to Bezier. BUT… you can convert it to PolyCurve then convert it to Bezier and then set your handle type

Ok. But doesn’t this show that my curve is already a Bezier curve?

I even have this checked!

I just closed Blender and opened it again, and still no handles!

No that just shows what object will be created if you draw a new curve. If you go to the object data tab and drop down the Active Spline tab. If it looks like this:
then it’s a path/NURBS curve. Otherwise, if it looks like this:
then it’s a bezier curve.

@Will_Olis

…then it’s a path/NURBS curve.

Yep!
So I added one more point, to comply with the minimum of 6 points in order to convert it to a Bezier.
I did convert it successfully.
Now I have the bloody handles

Thank you guys!
