The SoftTransform command changes moving behavior of mesh and SubD vertices based on different radial falloff shapes.

***

Soft transform works with SubD/mesh vertices, edges, faces, and control points.

Mouse dragging, Gumball, and transform commands ([Move](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/move.htm), [Scale](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/scale.htm), [Rotate](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/rotate.htm)...) work with soft transform.

[Locked](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/lock.htm) SubD vertices, edges, and faces will stay still.

### Command-line options

**Enable (Yes/No)**&#x20;

Turns on/off soft transform for SubD and mesh vertices.

**Radius**

Defines the falloff range.

***

Pre-select SubD/mesh sub-objects to define the falloff range with a visual indicator.

***

**Shape (Smooth /Linear/ Round/ Sharp)**

Changes the radial falloff style.
