Again, the anchor point tool is necessary here. First you drag the top line up to add split anchors (or cusp nodes, haven't ever used that term) to the two adjacent points. Then you can use either the anchor point tool or the direct selection tool to adjust the two new anchors.
The anchor point tool is essential to using Illustrator. You can read more about it under "Convert an anchor point precisely using the Convert Anchor Point tool" here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/editing-paths.html https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/editing-paths.html
One feature Adobe Illustrator is sorely lacking (afaik) is grid snapping for anchors. They will snap to objects, lines, and points, but grid snapping would be really helpful.
- planfaster 11y agoI stand corrected. Thank you for your time and help and for showing me the respective doc page. This is what I was looking for: "To convert a smooth point to a corner point with independent direction lines [...]" Which is almost the precise definition of "cusp": "a pointed end where two curves meet" + "a point of transition between two different states". :-) Corel named it well!
