<p>Thank you for the prompt feedback. I can live with a bit of deformation i suppose, as i can control it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Can ptMorph3DMap and ptMorph3DList handle modules that are not mesh? For example, could i somehow convert a collection of BREPs into a module?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I suppose i am asking for clarification on what kinds of modules ptMorph3DMap and ptMorph3DList will accept. (?)</p>

<p>In the "TOWER" example (great example), there were simply 8 mesh objects in a row. I am wondering how i should prepare a new list of modules.</p>
<p></p>
<p>When i tried using my petal-like groups of BREPs, ptMorph3DList mapped each petal from the first flower object independently to each grid cell. In other words, it assumed the flower was a list of shapes (which i suppose it is !) and broke it up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any guidance for how i can "cook" or "merge" or "group" a bunch of BREPs or geometry (in general) as one item, and then build a list of similar items to feed to ptMorph3DList?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks again for your comments.</p>

<p>I think the ptOrient companent in PT-GH or ptOrientToGrid command in PT-Rhino (with rigid=true) option should help, but this one takes one module and not a list of modules. ptMorph3DMap and ptMorph3DList can handle a list of modules and map (or morph) to cells. This will however involve deforming the modul.</p>
<p>A possibly easier approach is to place grid of points on the surface, then orient the desired module to each point. You will not need PT in this case.</p>
