Hi there, I just have a quick question, its probably been asked a million times, but here goes.

Is there a way (either in max, or in meshtools or in a plugin) to do a variation of Soft Selection, where the degree to which the surrounding vertices are affected is not dependant on their absolute distance from the orginal selection, but rather on how many polygons it is from the selection, IE if you have an s-curved tube, the vertices on the curve below the selection won't be affected. Whew, thats hard to understand, if anyone can understand that any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks - andy

Andy, check out Edge Distance in the Soft Selections dropdown (it's off by default). I think that is what you are looking for.
