Part III: Modeling Basics

When you select subobjects, they turn red. Non-selected subobjects are blue, and soft selected subobjects
are a gradient from orange to yellow, depending on their distance from the selected subobjects. This visual
clue provides valuable feedback on how the Soft Selection affects the subobjects. Figure 10.7 shows the
selected vertices from the preceding tutorial with Falloff values of 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80.

FIGURE 10.7
A gradient of colors shows the transition zone for soft selected subobjects.

For the Editable Poly and Editable Patch objects, the Soft Selection rollout includes a Shaded Face Toggle
button below its curve. This button shades the surface using the soft selection gradient colors, as shown in
Figure 10.8. This shaded surface is displayed in any shaded viewports. The cooler colors have less of an
impact over the transform.
