Using Splines package in a 2D project, I can't get it to work in 2D.

[Chris-Trueman]

When I create a spline through the Draw Splines Tool, I cannot draw any knots unless I switch to 3D mode. When I do that I get knots that are not oriented correctly or even in the correct positions.

After looking for a pathing tool for 2D I found 2D path, which is depreciated in newer versions of Unity.

2D Path Package deprecated from 2022.1 onwards

2D Path Package Deprecation The 2D Path package (com.unity.2d.path) will be deprecated from Unity 2022.1 onwards. The last supported version will be Unity 2021.2 (and therefore Unity 2021.3 LTS as well). What can you do? If you have been using the Path package to create splines, we strongly suggest you check out the Spline package that is currently in preview and give feedback to shape the package. This will help us consolidate our efforts in one place.

That post specifically states to use the new splines package to replace 2D path.

How the hell do I use this replacement in 2D?

Also interested. It would be good to have Spline default shapes in 2D format also. Something like: GameObject/Spline/2D/Circle

Whoever is still having this issue, I find a way to make it work in 2D. You need to enable the grid view along the Z plane. Here is a gif.

To Unity Devs: This should be documented.

Hope it helps you all!

This was really helpful!!! I couldn´t understand why the knots weren´t drawn in the scene, and I was like “omg should I recreate the project from scratch but this time with a 3D project to make it work?”. But then this reply and GIF helped me out. Thank you sm!!
