Working with Morph.

I am trying my first steps with the fantastic Morph tool.
My question is as follows:
Is there an easy way to draw outlines of a shape onto the 3d window, so as to follow the outline to produce the final 3D object or perhaps it is better to import the a drawing into this 3D window?
Any help will be appreciated.

Use the first geometry method of the Morph Tool (polyline) to draw any polygon you want.
You can either draw on the Editing Plane or you can draw on the surface of an existing element, ArchiCAD will find its durface for you.
You can also do it in Floor Plan, or open a Section/Elevation Viewpoint and draw it there, the Morph polyline will be creted in the vertical cutting plane of the Section/Elevation.

You may also want to watch the full playlist of clips detailing all areas of the Morph Tool:

Thank you to find the time to answer my query laszlonagy.
Of course now that you mentioned it, is easier to draw whatever shape on plan and using the tool "Rotate" one can move the figure on any plane!! How simple...now that you have pointed it out.
Once again, thank you.

Hi Juan, in my youtube channel I have some videos about Morph (in Spanish) yesterday I upload one about how to model a iphone... maybe it can be interesting.

Thank you José.
Yes I did take a look at your impressive iphone modelling on your youtube channel, I must confess I do feel very envious.
I was also dazed with the (Spanish) reviewed you made about the FormX programme and surely that is what Morph in Archicad should aim at. I do recommend Graphisoft to take a good look at that programme; there is a lot it could be learned from it.
Well done José!!
