Can't select plane in Morph tool

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to figure out the Morph tool, have watched all the videos, but I still can't seem to select a surface to push/pull in 3D (I can do it in plan view). I can select nodes and edges, but not the face of an object.

I'm attaching a picture of the only PET Palette I can get working with Morphs in 3D.

Am I doing something wrong??

On a side note- the videos are helpful to introduce WHAT can be done, but they move too fast, and are too tiny to be instructional. You can 't really see where they are clicking and what PET palette is popping up. Making the video full screen just makes it blurry.

Is there a text instruction manual for using the Morph tool?

Re: fuzzy videos - In case you're not aware, you can choose what resolution you want for your Youtube videos (up to the max uploaded by the provider).

For example, the attached shows that the intro Morph video can be viewed in 720 HD - that is just not the default, for speed reasons.

For the missing push-pull in 3D, see if Katalin's answer / video here helps:

No, sorry, that doesn't help. The first problem is that I can't select a face of the object- I can only select edges and nodes.

Here is what I am doing:
Creating Morph object (simple square)--> selecting Morph--> opening in 3D -->Selecting morph in 3D--> trying to click on the surface plane--> object unselects itself.

I've tried toggling grouping, hidden morph geometry... nothing works. I feel I am missing some critical step, but I can't figure it out.

There is a new sub-element selction method that lets you select edges and faces of Morphs. CTRL+SHIFT is the key combination for it.


Or, maybe the Options\Surface Snap menu toggle is not ON.

Lazlo- I tried both of those things, no luck. SO- I opened a completely new file with the standard AC 16 Profile, and everything works.

Something in my profile that I carried over from AC15 must be the culprit. I wasn't getting the little off-set square icon for my cursor. Any idea what setting I'm missing? Something in Work Environment (I looked but nothing seemed obvious to me).

Thanks!

Exact same issue over here...
any solution for missing push/pull pallet?

edit:
I found it on another topic...

try to alter the 3d-View from open-gl to internal engine. Maybe the old graphiccard-driverprogram causes this. - So You can test it with the internal engine.

By the way-
You know how to switch the arrow-tool between selecting methodes? (white or black arrow in the infobox..)

It look like this does not appear when using the Arrow Tool, try selecting the Morph Tool in the Toolbox.
