Constraints rollout
Fix Ve rti ces —Creates a Fix Vertices to World
constraint (page 2–796) that fixes the chosen
ver tices to their current posit ion in world sp ace.
Keyframe Vertices—Creates a Keyframe constraint
(page 2–797) that makes the chosen vertices follow
theircurrentanimationin3dsMax.
Attach to R igid B ody—Creates an Attach to Rigid
Body constraint (page 2–798) between the chosen
vertices and a rigid body. The vertices follow the
animation (changes in position and rotation) of
the r igid body (page 2–716).
Attach to DefMesh—Creates an Attach to Deforming
Mesh constraint (page 2–799) between the chosen
vertices and a deforming mesh. The vertices
will follow the animation (deformations) of the
deforming mesh (page 2–793).
[constraints list]—Displays a list of the deformable
constraints for the deformable body. To highlight a
constraint for changing its parameters or deleting
it, click its n ame in the list.
Delete Constrai nt—Deletes the highlighted
constraint in the list.

rollout
The Fix Vertices constraint lets you fix vertices in
a deformable body to their current positions in
world space.
