ellipse in morph

Anonymous

How do you draw an ellipse on a 2d morph? I want to cut an ellipse in a 2d morph so that it can be extruded up to form a tub surround. I can create the ellipse with the arc tool then convert it into a morph. It would be nice to have the arc/ellipse tool available when drawing on the 2d morph surface. I don't want to use solid element operations and then have to move the hole every time I move it. One time I was able to get the two morphs to union and the ellipse subtracted out, but now I can't figure out how to duplicate what I did.

HI LOREN. MAYBE YOU CAN FIND A STANDARD TUB THAT WORKS FOR YOU HERE?

It is always possible to draw an normal ellipse with the normal circle-Tool in the 2D-windows.

There You can duplicate it with a Morph-Line - it will be segmented, bur You get a nearly ellipse-shape.

This thing - just the segments without the Morph-surface - you can put on any other Morph-Face and connect it with it - add it.
