Making this arrow of light for a friend. The arrow looks good but I can not get the top rays to make a carve region like the arrow. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please explain?

The 2 bottom left points were not attached to each other.

zoom in real close and you can see they are off just a bit.. I moved the right one to the left until I got the "red star" around them and then the carve region came on..


EDIT: Doug got to it first...LOL

You need all lines connected. Your's is easy. The Left ray line needs to be pulled down ever so slightly to touch the Arc. When it is in the correct place the red marker will GLOW.

We just had this same problem where the solution was shown.

Using Depth Profile to fine the possible open point.

When ever you use "Connected" lines, you must see the Start and End points GLOW as you finish. It's also nice to know that the Depth Profile helps us find that point when necessary.
