MORPH Element - Lines in Elevation and 3d

[Anonymous]

Hi.
MORPH Tool = Awesome

Very powerful.
Baby Steps - Using it to create a few quick stucco details on the fly in 3d.

Problem...
Lines appear at junction of MORPH element and adjacent columns / slabs.

Any ideas?
I have tried changing surface materials. I have tried SEO operations on the MORPH element.
All the nodes are definitely in contact. The lines will just not go away.

I know there are myriad different ways to achieve the arches but wanted to get the MORPH tool working.

Thanks.

Oh, and co-planar MORPH to MORPH, no mating of surfaces either turns out.

That would make the Morph a Mule (sterile offspring of donkey and horse). 😉

Not just LW. If you turn "Contours" OFF in the 3D window, then your OpenGL 3D window will not show the lines either.

But, with Sections/Elevations, 3D Documents, etc still being bread-and-butter of construction drawings, this lack of clean-up reduces our abilities to use Morphs for quick model embellishments.

The first time I saw this was with Complex Profiled walls - where I used a Morph to wrap a CP extrusion around a wall end - a half wall that had a cap. So much for the easy solution.

We can only hope that improvements are on the way...

Cheers,

Hah. A Mule

Thanks for the response.
Cheers as well.

maybe a workaround might be to use the morph object as an SEO object on a hidden layer and 'add' it to the wall while retaining wall attributes - haven't tried it, but may be an option.

Nope. No cigar. Just tried it...

Turn everything into morphs and then you can hide the lines.

Reminds me of a Modern English tune.

'I'll stop the world and MORPH with you'

MORPH the world!
