Bonjour guru_meditation,

..these are my first days with xsi.. and im stuck at the moment cause if i try to copy 4 points of an object, it always copies the whole object.. and not only the 4 points.
also strange: after copying(strg +c) the points (vertex filter(strg +f8) is on) i deselect all points and objects and hide them. after that step i cant paste(strg+v) anything. the buffer seems to be empty or ignored.

This is because you can't copy-paste object components, like points, edges and polygons. Instead, you can select the polygons you want to copy - select the polygons that touches the points if it is points you want to copy - and do Model > Create > Poly. Mesh > Extract From Polygons.

in this tutorial the knife tool is used pretty often. this may sound stupid but, where can i select it??

Sorry but there is no such tool in XSI. You'll to do it with the key (Add Edge key).
Hope this helps
Salutations - Cheers
