I’m trying to create streets for a city I’m creating on Unreal Engine. I have tried multiple times on pressing the function keys to create a spline point but it will not do so . I have watched many tutorials on youtube of people creating splines without issue but I don’t know why it isn’t working for me . When I see youtubers perform the spline start point function a small mountain icon would appear and they can just create their road but for me it doesn’t. I have checked to make sure the land I’m trying to place splines in (roads) is able to be edited and have done everything I could think of to make sure nothing is preventing it from working . I would appreciate help on figuring out what may be the issue. I wonder if it could be that I have to have a street asset to create a spline for it to work correctly . Anyways, I’m out of ideas and am thinking of emailing UE support if I can’t figure it out here . ---

Steps to consider: 1. Make sure you’re in landscape mode: ![304646-land.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/5/d/45dbc60b1a7a061fddc7010c96264b533291b3fb.jpeg) 1. Go into spline mode: ![304647-spline.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/a/7/ea7e26163686a7eb425dfafb0a0993f90c8d31a6.jpeg) 1. CTRL-click on the landscape: ![304648-click.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/9/f/a9fbad96bd20caa8195de690816215eec68f37c3.jpeg) NOTE: If you are very near the landscape you wont see the little mountain, you’ll see: ![304649-widget.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/7/a/27ac32f860a86bf420fac7ec497cb47670f89d58.jpeg) If you see that, it just means you’re too close. Zoom out by rolling back the wheel on your mouse 🙂 ---

Update: Following day for NO apparent reason it just started displaying the “mountain” icon and working… Very weird! "Mine is completely invisible at ANY distance! No idea why, I can’t see any of it in UE5.2, I have an editable landscape, have a layer reserved for splines (as per a tutorial I watched), with Manage → Splines selected, and (tried both the base layer being selected, and then the spline layer selected to try that also) clicking ctrl +left click places a spline point (which I can’t see) but can undo in history! Any ideas? Thanks!" ---
