Morphs not extruding along z-axis!

Anonymous

Hi!

Having a major problem! - When I go to extrude a morph along the z-axis, it will only extrude along the x-axis. The pet palette is present, all tools able to be selected as normal when clicking the morph face. All settings seem normal, walls etc., still extrude along the Z when a value is entered.

Please help! Stuck!

To add:

It's something that has gone wrong in this file, the other AC file I have open works fine when extruding morphs along the Z-axis.

I think that extruding along de z-axis only works in the 3D view.

Without being rude, I am of course in 3D view when trying to do this. I have never had this problem before and it still remains no matter what I do.

I'm sure it's just a button, setting that has been accidentally toggled, or a bug maybe.

Someone please help!

Hi again

Yes, I cannot perform this action on certain morphs in my model - extruding along the z-axis as you are doing in the video.

For some reason certain morphs have lost this capability, which they had before.

Maybe it's something to do with the geometry? But I don't see why all of a sudden this has happened.

Can you post a screen shot of what you are trying to stretch?

I'm also having a similar problem—the pet pallet all the sudden is not showing the option to extrude. See attached screen shot.

I've tried unchecking Hidden Morph Geometry, I've tried other angles of viewing the object, I've tried restarting, I've also tried a new file. None of these things are working and I really need help with asap—deadline!!
