let’s say i make a nurbs curve. it has some points. i have it selected as the whole object, meaning i can move the whole thing. i select the transform gizmo tool, and move it. the transform gizmo moves as i’m moving the object around.

now in the stack, i expand “NURBS Curve” and select Point from the list below, and select a point on the curve. (i must have pressed some key here) when i tried to move the point, the gizmo also moved with my point. but after i did something (press a key or something) the gizmo doesn’t move until i release the click…

the question: what can i do so that the gizmo moves as i’m moving things around? thanks. 🙂

**please see this edit:**  
can anyone do this for me?  
if you have 3ds max, please open up a new file, and go to NURBS curve, and draw a point curve. now click the modify tab (it has a symbol of a bent pipe in a bounding box) expand the NURBS curve, and click point. now select a point. click “Select and Move” (the usual move symbol) and try to move the point. does your gizmo also move as you drag the point around? thanks
