A new vertex map will be created when you paint unless an existing vertex map is selected in the
Object manager. Therefore if you want to paint an existing vertex map, select this map in the Object
manager before you paint the vertices with the Live Selection tool.
If you own a graphics tablet, you can make the radius and strength dependent on the pen pressure by
enabling the Pressure Dependent Radius and Pressure Dependent Strength options.
Soft Selection
The soft selected polygons before (left) and after (right) being moved up the Y-axis.
Selecting polys with soft selection allows you to move them with a smooth interpolation between
themselves and the unselected polygons. Increase the Radius value to affect a greater number of
polygons. Soft selected elements can be editing using the Move, Scale and Rotate tools.
Rubber
The soft selected elements will behave more like rubber when moved, scaled or rotated if this option
is enabled. Rubber mode tends to work best with low Strength values.
