      Hi!
      Got a question.
      If I select some vertices using soft selection, it will also affect geometry that's not connected to selected vertices (see screenshot). Can I change this behavior so that soft selection will only affect connected vertices?

      You'd say "do grouping your geometry" but that's not the solution in my case.

        Hi!
        I'd have a suggestion for a small feature development.
        When doing soft selection we have two options of falloff - linear and cosine. What if we had more options, e.g. "pinchy" fallof shape, as illustrated below, on the left?

        I can see such idea was already posted years ago but I dared to bring it anyways, cuz it would be a fantastic improvement of already very good tool!

          Currently soft selection is computed by spatial distance only. I have it on my list to add a "by connected distance" option.

            Yes, that is also on the list. something like a pinch and bubble parameter like 3dsmax offer.

                        Good question. I'll make a post when I know myself. 😉

                                Hi!
                                I'd have another suggestion of upgrade. "Make Planar" tool would be more useful if we could specify the plane for selected vertices to be flattened to. For example, set the plane with two vectors, like TIG's Mirror does.

                                  Adjust the Gismo to the direction you want then Make Planer.

                                    You can also scale to zero for the same effect in the model axis planes.

                                      Wow, scaling to 0 😲 It is a game-changer I wished SketchUp had for a long time. And only now I realised FredoScale can do it as well.
                                      Curious how many more surprises are hidden in these little buttons 😄

                                        One of the most frustrating things about teaching is how much students don't learn. Which can be read as hear, see, retain, remember, bother to take in, have any interest in, or simply haven't been exposed to. Amongst others.
                                        Pretty much everything has already been asked, answered and argued over in these forums, much like the rest of the internet you never get to the end of it and there's not much that hasn't already gone before.

                                          I don't recall if v1 snap to scale 0 - but v2 will for sure. Making it easier.

                                          (I had similar revelation about scaling negative to flip/mirror.)

                                          Challenge with all the gems in the forums is that they aren't always easy to find. Often they are buried deep in lengthy threads.

                                            So true, I didn't mean anything by it. Just noting that we all tend to read what's in front then scroll on rather than following the story.
