If when you created your stretched version you took the original in Modeler
and copied it to another layer, that could be your problem. Unfortunately,
Modeler renumbers the points when you copy to another layer. Thus when you
morph in LW it twist and bends. Solution: Load the original object, change it
and save it back all in the same layer.
