Turning a Morph Parameter into an On-Off Button

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)
I wonder if I could trouble the more knowledgeable members with my - I'm sure - very simple question. I want to have a morph as an on off switch. I'm creating a running hurdle and want to have a number of pre-defined heights applicable by a simple on-off switch. I have loaded the morph using Morph Loader Advanced, applied limits and a nudge factor of 100%, but can't seem to be able to turn that into an on off switch. Could anyone help me? Many thanks in advance, Richard.

    Create your morph as usual, pit the Parameters pane in Edit mode via right-click, create new proerpty via right click and make it a Boolean, give it a name like MorphToggle. Set the morph to 100%, the toggle to on, and do an ERC Freeze via right-click on the toggle. Now click the gear icon on the actual morph>Parameter Settinsg and set it to be Hidden.

    You could create a new Parameter (Boolean - On/Off) and later use ERC with Key link (not linear add).

    Thank you. That worked, and it does just what I wanted. Regards, Richard.

    Picking up on this as a possible alternative to my "geometry switching" question elsewhere ... I can see Richard's suggestion works, but it requires the underlying morph to be preserved.  Is there a similar work flow that effectively transfers the morph deltas in the 100% state only to a new parameter, or a means to take the morph and somehow convert it to a 0% /100% binary only??

    Cheers, Lx

    The above is a typical way of using a Boolean property as a Control dial plus a Morph. As for your requirement, you have to use Conditional Graft modifier plus Surfaces.
