Morph on a triangular surface

Hi guys.

I'm trying to morph a Brep component to a triangular surface but the box morph doesn't work since it morphs the component on the rectangular surface. Any ideas how I can do it?

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, if not can you supply more input?

She is saying surface box ignores triangles and reinterprets them as rectangular. Off the top of my head I am thinking cut up the triangle with maybe isotrim, then get the edges. Join the edges and extrude them. Essentially making your own "surface boxes" and assign those boxes as your target box.

Either this is it or I'm still not seeing the problem.

My problem is something like this.. it morphs the object not ecatly on the triangular surface, but on a rectangle!

Chris just gave the solution. Or is that still not correct?

Yea Michael is right. This is my problem..

But, Thank you chris, the one you uploaded is interesting. I tried to work with the T box before but it didn't work either..

I'm using Chris's solution but it doesn't give me the same result! Am I missing something?!

it is important how you create the surface in rhino!

1 Create a planar triangle curve and use surface from planar crv.

2. srf by 3 or 4 points. choose 4 points!
