[image] Might be a stretch. A ‘topology’ soft transform option, which only transforms something within the soft transform radius if a path of the length required could be reached along the object. See above, the far faces are conected to the near ones. They’re within the radius, but the shortest p…

Thanks for the request @Jonathan_Hutchinson Filed as https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-61149

Thanks @Jussi_Aaltonen . Hope the explanation is clear.

Also Jussi - in SoftTransform, when picking a ‘radius’ with the red sphere, it is not possible to ‘escape’ with Esc from the command in normal rhino fashion.

And one more thing… Slide doesn’t seem to work SoftTransform yet either. That could be nice, perhaps.

Logged RH-61198 SoftTransform: ESC does not cancel radius picking

What would you prefer to happen? How would the SoftTransform affect Slide?

The points/edges being ‘slid’, would affect nearby vertices/edges within the radius, smoothly moving at the different vectors for each one (as the slide command does) [slide] When I think about it, I guess all the different vectors / different falloffs would get very mixed up. So probably more co…

[softTransformTopological] Hi Jussi, this is probably a simpler explanation of a case for SoftTransform with a Topological option (or a more technically correct description). Being able to just affect the adjacent connected faces within the specified radius. example of soft-t-topological.3dm (285…

[image] Jonathan_Hutchinson: When I think about it, I guess all the different vectors / different falloffs would get very mixed up. So probably more complicated than it would be worth. Don’t worry about the complication :slight_smile: So selected loops should slide as they do now without the …

I can think of cases it could be useful - sliding a circular loop, then neighbouring loops slide softly nearby. SoftTransform with topological option would be a much more useful thing in any case I feel.
