[AD] How to select underlying node? (overlapping nodes after Break Curve)

[F_Kal]

I still haven't figured this out:

 

When you break a curve, two nodes are created one atop the other. how can one access (select) the underlying one without moving away to top one (and losing the initial position)?

Hi F_Kal,

 

Draw a selection to select both nodes, the top one have the red outline. Now press and hold Shift and click the node, the red outline will disappear, release Shift. Now you can move the node, the one 'on top' will remain in place.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tip! This is one of those things that has been driving me crazy trying to find workarounds for selecting just the node I want to move.

 

I still wish there was an easy way to see when two nodes overlap without having to move anything but this will help when I do want to move one.

Likewise @Lee D! Thanks so much for the elegant solution!

So simple! 

 

Thanks!
