Interpolate sub-layers with folders in Switch folder.

I have a switch layer for the mouth and in the switch layer tab I have selected Interpolate sub-layers. My question is if the transition to the next mouth only goes smoothly when there is only one vector layer for fx the 'O' and one vector layer for the 'E'? and doesn't work with multiple vector layers in folders?

I made actually two folders in the switch layer, which contain the mouth with the 'O' and one layer with the teeth. By masking only the teeth are visible, which is the intention. But then the Interpolate sub-layers doesn't work anymore.

If only one vector layer is possible, is there a trick for the teeth or do I just have to move the vector points to the edge of the lip? That would be a problem, as I use Blend Morphs to turn the head. The tooth will at some point then go outside of the mouth.

Interpolation, as does bone binding, only works on the top layers inside a switch layer.

Try this: copy the contents of the teeth layer and paste it in the mouth layer.

Of course you have constructed the different mouths by carefully duplicating from one master layer ... ? Otherwise interpolation wouldn't work.

Thanks for the answer, I was afraid so. The problem is that I have a head turn using Blend Morphs, so the teeth move uncontrollable from 0˚ to 90˚ and can go out of the mouth. But I guess if I put the ankerpoints of the teeth at the same location as the ankerpoints on the top of the mouth, I should be fine.
