Hello and thank you for your time,

Trying to figure out if there is a way to animate ProBools so that I can turn it on and off during the animations.

If so, which would ge great, I would then take it a step forward and animate the on/off ProBool of a group of selected polys of an object.

Imagine a trunk of tree growing upwards from the ground, and then continuously being sliced off at the top by an axe so that that the height of the tree always remains the same (the Boolean cut). But then the axe stops cutting (turning off the Boolean) and then tree continues to grow upwards unimpedely. The growth of the tree trunk is animated by using a continous Morph.

Any hope in any of this?? If not, are there other options?

thanks. K
