The morph ability itself doesn't change the model. You need to open up the actor for both the original and the upgraded unit and change some things.

So, if you want to morph unit A to unit B:

  1. Go to A's actor.
    1. In the Events tab:
      1. Right click and select Add Event.
      2. For the new event, change the Msg Type field to "Ability Morph", Source Name to "Any" or if you prefer, the name of your morph ability, and Sub Name to "Finish".
      3. On the new event, right click and select Add Term.
      4. For the new Term, change the Term Type field to "Morph From", and the Unit Link to Unit A
      5. For the new Event's Message (Action), select "Destroy".
  2. Go to B's actor.
    1. In the Events tab:
      1. Right click and select Add Event.
      2. For the new event, change the Msg Type field to "Ability Morph", Source Name to "Any" or if you prefer, the name of your morph ability, and Sub Name to "Finish".
      3. On the new event, right click and select Add Term.
      4. For the new Term, change the Term Type field to "Morph To", and the Unit Link to Unit B
      5. For the new Event's Message (Action), select "Create".

This is the simplest way to do it and will make it so that when the morph finishes, Unit A's actor is destroyed and replaced by Unit B's actor.
