The SoftEditSrf command moves the surface area surrounding the selected point smoothly relative to the distance from selected point.

Note

Editing is done by moving the selected point.
This location on the surface is moved, and the move is smoothly tapered off with increasing distance along the surface from this point.

Steps

Select a surface.
Click a base point.
Pick a point to move to.
Press Enter to end the command.

Note

The selection point snaps to the closest edit point.
Corresponding control points of the curve/surface are moved.

U_Distance/ V_Distance	Distance in the u or v direction influenced by the move.

DirConstraint	Constrains the direction of the move. None Allows free movement. SrfNormal Constrains movement normal to the surface. UTangent Constrains the surface tangent to the surface u direction. VTangent Constrains the surface tangent to the surface v direction.
