Unable to convert curves object to mesh????

Technical Support Modeling

Hey all,

Running build 2.63a and I’ve created a kettlebell model for a project I’m working on.

The ball part was easy.

I then used a bezier curve to follow the shape of the kettlebell handle from my reference image, bevelled it and set the resolution and it looks pretty good.

Unfortunately I must be missing something pretty basic because when I’m in Object mode I can’t access the curves object at all in the windows…I can modify the bevel and all the other options in the menu but no Alt-C to convert to mesh appears to be available.
I’m getting a little frustrated.
I just want to convert the damned curve object to a mesh so I can tweak and merge with the ball.
What small thing am I missing?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

sincerely,

caa

So you are doing alt-C in the 3D view and there is no menu popping up for the conversion?

Hi ajm.

Yup.

It was becoming a bit frustrating. I got around it by making just the handle as a curves object THEN converting to mesh and appending it into the kettlebell scene.

Pretty much took care of it. :slight_smile:
