Convert solid morph to surface morph

Dontknow
Enthusiast
I've seen several YouTube video's to convert solid morphs into surface morphs.
But when I select a face or edge of a morph and select delete the whole morph gets deleted and doesn't turn into a surface morph.
Also when I use 'Suspend Groups'.

I think what you mean is being able to select a face and then modify it or delete it. To do that hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys when clicking on the face or edge

Or in the selection tool settings you can change it from the black to white (sub-element) cursor.
Just don't forget to change it back when you want to select normal (whole) elements.

The CTRL+SHIFT toggle is a temporary swap to either cursor depending which one you have active.

One short clip cannot contain all info because it would be very long.
