David: <<4) Create the object then bend it along the length that served as the path in the lofter.>> The object you describe isn't really the one that my problem is with. Rather than bending along the path, my object has a very short path and is bend perpedicular to the flat surface. This happens to be a flat eagle shape, wafer thin that is bent 180 degrees after tesselating several times. The final eagle morph object has stray faces and I'm unable to get the smooth appearance on the surface of the eagle that originated as flat. As a side issue. It has been brought to my attention that I may have "killed" messages unknowingly. Since I never knew they could be killed <g>, maybe someone can tell me how this is done. I have noticed that many times a message has an answer but the question is missing or other responces. I'm not sure how this is done. By the way, this is the Jerry B. from San Diego, friend of the "Big A" (Alan I.)
