Hi all,
Longtime PS/ID/AI user, still very new to AE. I just drew some basic lines with the Pen Tool, and now I can't seem to get access to the control points on those lines to move them around. I can select the entire shape without a problem.
I'm positive there's a setting I'm missing, but for the life of me I can't find it. 😂 I found one other post about a similar problem, but that one was resolved by removing a script applied to the path, which isn't the case here.
I'd super-duper appreciate any guidance. Thank you!

My first guess is that the path has been set to Rotobezier. You can use the Menu/Path options to convert it to Bezier Paths.

Thanks for your insight! I just checked, and Rotobezier is unchecked. When I checked it, the path changed shape pretty dramatically.

Second guess - ShowLayer Controls has been turned off in the View menu. Third Guess, you have turned off Show Paths in the Comp Panel. Cropped screenshots that do not show the modified properties of the layer you hare having problems with and the UI are not helpful when diagnosing problems.
If you have the selection tool (v) active try this:
