Hi all & Bobo :applause:

I have a little question here:

In poly, vertex mode, softselection turned on:

I have selected some vertex and moved them with

move $.selectedVerts [123,123,123]

The selected vertex is moving, but all the other vertex that is affected by the soft selection is NOT ??????
Why that ???

You have to explicitly move the affected verts when using maxscript. As far as I have been able to determine, this means cycling through all the mesh's verts and using getVDataValue() on channel 1 to get the softselect value for each vert, then multiplying the move value by this amount, and then moving the vert by that amount. Naturally, this isn't a fast operation, so I recommend sticking to bitarrays where possible rather than arrays (bitarrays are faster).
