Can't Work Properly With The Stretch Tool

Hi there

 

I choose specifically solid thinking because I do sunglasses. Now, I watched the Webinar about creating sunglasses which makes to me a lot of sense to try it. The guy is using a tool 'stretch surface' which I also have in version 2014 but I only can select the object and the target curve. He is able to select the spine curve, I can't. When I try to select the spine curve afterwards, my object gets red and it doesn't work. Does someone knows about?

 

This is the link to the webinar 


The stretch happens around minute 10:20.

 

I added a screen shot of what I am able to do.

    Sorry to keep you waiting so long.  Not sure how this slipped by.  I will send a video explanation shortly.

    Hi,

     

    Do you have a spine curve selected? 

     

    If there is no spine curve selected and you switch from stretch axis to spine curve, the object turns red.

     

    Use the 'Replace' button under Spine curve in Modeling tool panel and select the curve.

     

    Thanks,

    Arjun

    Thanks Arjun, I tried that as well but I am still not able to do. The spine curve selection doesn't work. I understand what you mean but there is no result. Still a red object.
