Morph Tube and origin & other questions

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm just getting familiar with the morph tool (yes it's been out a while).

1. What I'm having trouble with is redefining the origin of the tube command. I've made a little thumb molding and I'm trying to chase that around the edge of a wood panel. I click the face of the molding to invoke the tube command, then click to a corner which I would like the origin to be. It keeps the origin at the location on the face where I initially clicked. Ideas?

2. Can you combine morphs? If I've got two morphs (for instance I put a hip raised panel onto a flat panel) and I want them to be one and get married in holy matrimony, can you do that? Simply selecting them both and saying convert to morph doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

It's strange. It's only working in one direction.
I made video from a morph box with some morph profiles.

HI Dontknow. Are the profiles you are trying to "tube" in full contact with the Morph box?
Off topic; which software are you using to make the videos? I will try and put up a demo.

I thought of that too.
Yeah, they are in contact with the box.
Even when I push the profiles a bit into the box I get the same reaction.

Software I'm using is 'Microsoft Expression Encoder 4'.
It's a part of 'Microsoft Expression Studio 4'.
