The next step is to edit the blend to include this 3rd line. For this you have to get inside, into the blend by double clicking it. You should be in a kind of isolation mode where you can edit and select only the lines that generate the blend (1st and 2nd line). Once inside, you have to 'paste in place' the 3rd line so it gets added to the blend. | |

Can you explain a little further what you're meant to do after you blend the 1st and 2nd lines? | |
