To select a path, you must use the Path Selection tool and not the Direct Selection tool that will only select a segment of the path.
The end result is very nice indeed.

Hey Alex, sorry, I only have instructions for Windows/PC since I don’t own a Mac. I wasn’t aware that there is that much difference between the two versions, just things like the CTRL key, etc.
