Milaja, Sounds like your 3D preview window isn't displayed while you are in the Spline modeler room. You would be able to see both the shoe mesh object as well as the spline object within that preview window. That way any action you create to the spline oject would be immediatly previewed around that shoe. (It is much easier to do in RDS 5.5 as you can have the scene, spline window and mesh modeler all displayed at the same time.)
