Insertion Points in Morphs

[drh64]

I've converted a column and baseplate to a morph. Now the insertion point is on the edge of the baseplate and not the center of the column. Is there a way to change to insertion point of a morph after it is made????

Morphs don't have insertion points as such.
Just surfaces, edges and nodes - but these nodes are not highlighted by hotspots.
The node you see on a morph is the one that is used to represent the base hieght of the morph.
I don't think you have any control over where it is.

What you can do is to draw some lines on the bottom surface of your column base that intersect at the centre.
This will at least allow you to select that point to position copies of you morph.

Or better still save the morph back as an object and you will get nodes at the bounding box and centre of the bounding box in 2D.
So if your morph is symetrical then the node will be in the centre.
If it is not symetrical you could open the object script and place a hotspot at the desired location in the 2D symbol.
