Creating rounded box by Metaform is NOT need polygons tripled. Try make a
box by default tool,make sure segments should be 2 or higher in x,y and z.
Then Metamorph it!
And another wrong thing what i can imagine,is polygons must be ONE SIDE
(check it in options menue).
i think MOD-config file is not influence in this case...
Kiko...
To Jhon Gross:
i don't know why dobble sided polygons can't Metamorph. JG,Could u explain
for me??
