Smoove Tool on From Scratch

[Chad_UB]

So I'm trying to use the smoove tool on a grid that I created using the from scratch tool. I can't get the red circle to show up indicating that the tool is activated - even though I had the grid selected prior to activating the tool. I then tried to make a rectangle, and the smoove tool will work on that....what gives? Even when I "explode" the grid (since it comes in as a group), I can't seem to use the tool on it...

draw a rectangle on the ground sufficiently large so that you can develop a large grid with say 2'x2' or whatever measuring system you are using inches milimeters cubits parsecs whatever.
The grid should already be a group. right click. edit group. mouse over grid. look at vcb to see radius of influence. type in preferred radius. mouse over grid. left click hold and drag upward or downward on screen (assuming you are in normal 3d view and not in some ortho view).
