I am in Capture 2026, symphony version, attempting to make a circular LED strip. In the "What's New in 2026" document, there is a "Bezier Curve Spline Editor" mentioned that I do not see available. I am assuming I would need this for custom shapes.

Has anyone else ran into this issue, or, rather , is there a different menu I should be looking for?

In order to edit the Generic LED Strip you need to double click on any of the endpoints. Once you have done that you can move and rotate them as well as use the Split command to add more points or the Delete command to delete points.

To clarify this; you don't need to be in a top view. You need to be in a view where your LED strip has thickness. The LED strip is a 2D object, so you need to be looking at the light emitting face (or the back of it) to seelct edit points on the spline.

Hello, I am in 2026.0.39 and attempting the same thing but I am unable to edit the LED strip. I drag in the generic LED tape fixture from the library, I orientate it the way NotAnotherTom mentioned but I am still unable to click the edges and change the shape. I'm simply looking to increase the LED count to better reflect the real world fixture. Any help would be great!

Be sure to edit a Generic led strip and not a led tape.

Then click on the end point to edit.
