Reply To: In properties of the metaball, I can change the number of the ball type but the look doesn’t change. It remains a football. Is this because I’m using Blender 2.79 or could it be due to something else?

You most likely have an error at the top when you open the file.

Click “Reload Trusted” and it will relaunch w/o the drivers being disabled.

Also make sure you have ‘auto run python scripts’ checked in your user preferences.
