Soft Se lection rollout
Soft Selection controls affect the action of
sub-object Move, Rotate, and Scale functions.
When these are on, the software applies a
spline curve deformation to unselected vertices
surrounding the transformed selected sub-object.
This provides a magnet-like effect with a sphere of
influence around the transformation.
