Uh... I'm only posting my opinion because you said you were desperate. My success with magnets have been a bit mixed. Basically, Set the BASE up in the position and facing the direction in which you want to pull. Set the zone up so that it covers the whole area to be morphed. Now tran the MAGNET. If it moves away from the base, but nothing happens, check the selection and the zone. Try selecting individual polygons with the grouping tool. Try typing in values instead of pulling. However, for what you are trying to do, (if I understand you right) I would rather make the morph in a modeler, scaling a selection of polys in one dimention. Berge
