morph faces

Hello everyone I am Francis.
I kindly ask for your help, I apologize for English.
In the video tutorial of the Alvar Aalto vase board when the upper edge of the jar me some faces are triangular.
In the video tutorial does not happen (at least ca 0.35/0.40).
This means that I can then apply the chamfer (min. approx 0:46).
How come? What's going on?
Thank you.

Hello,

I have to thank you for your question, I enjoyed doing the tutorial myself.
After three attempts to get the problem you have, I could not.
[EDIT] Yes I see the problem! I wasn't looking at the correct side, but now as I look at the far side I see the extra diagonal lines. Hm... not sure if the other times I did it those were there...,

SO:
What I did is,
get a jpeg of the vase in plan view from the internet
drew a straight segmented poly-line,
used the pet palette to curve each line into the proper curve,
created the morph surface - raised it into a volume, and
pushed an offset down to form the thin walls.
At this point I should have seen your problem, I did not -
I assume that your issue must come from the line work you based
the morph from. Did you use splines or the magic wand to trace a imported shape?
At any rate try it with the polyline like I did, see if that works.

There are three options in the Morph tool for the edge conditions, I used the soft option and those lines went away, try also the hidden option, perhaps that will also work.

Thanks Mark for your answer.
I also took a photo of the vase and I modeled both with the shape tool with which polylines and then with the magic wand I got the shape.
The result is the same.
After the extrusion without the box stretch function fillet / chamfer is fine; just apply the stretch box (creating the triangular faces), the function fillet / chamfer does not work.

Unfortunately, edges and faces of the ArchiCAD morph don't appear when saving and displaying it on skp format.
