Rows may be deleted from the Body Plan window and columns may be deleted from the Plan and Profile windows. Control point rows or columns are always deleted from the current surface.
For example, to delete a control point column from the Profile window:
· Select the Profile window from the Windows menu
· Select Delete from the Controls menu.
When Delete is selected you may choose which row or column you wish to delete by placing the 'jaws' of the cursor around any control point in the row or column
· Click the control point column you wish to delete

This will delete the chosen column.
