Regarding the description on page 6-11, turn on Display/Geometry/All Lines in the 3D Editor to see the triangular faces of which all objects are made. Regarding the morphing, I'd have to ask again: did you _really_ read through the tutorials? From beginning to end? The morphing tutorial that begins on page 14-12 clearly only uses a few keyframes to morph a column. In addition, on page 14-20, is the statement: "You're going to morph the first column into the other columns. Remember, it will look like the first column has _become_ the other columns, but it always remains the first column with only its vertices keyed to other positions." Then, on the following page, I repeat: "We've said it several times, but we'll say it again: The bent column is still the first column. Its vertices have been moved to be the same as column01. If, for example, you were rendering this and each column had a different material assigned to it, the bending column would appear with the same material because, although its vertices are moved, its material is the same." – J
