Craig, As others here have said: if the vertex ordering is not absolutly the same between the meshes, you're in trouble. The Morph function can only take vertex#1 from mesh A and change its postition to that of vertex#1 from mesh B and so on for each vertex. If the faces of your meshes were combined into a mesh in a different order from each other, it won't work. One way around this might be to organize the face in AutoCAD. If the mesh is a rectangular grid, it should be fairly easi to write a Lisp program to sort the faces by X and Y and then build a Polyface mesh in correct vertex order. If the mesh is a nonuniform network mesh you can probably still do it but it will be harder. Good luck. Terry Gilbert Forcade & Associates
