Modeling Toolkit transform tools

The Modeling Toolkit includes three unique transform tools:

When any of the transform tools are selected, the following sections appear in the Modeling Toolkit window:

Transform Options

World: (Default) Aligns the manipulator to the center of the scene. See World space.
Object: Aligns the manipulator to the object's local space. See Object space.
Local: Aligns the manipulator to the last component's normal. See Local space.
Custom: Orients the manipulator to the Adjust Pivot button settings.

Adjust Pivot: Lets you set the position and orientation of the pivot point. The custom pivot is used when coordinate space is set to Custom. See Position the Modeling Toolkit custom pivot.
Transform attributes: Lets you set the XYZ coordinates for the move, rotate, or scale manipulators. Click the X, Y, or Z buttons to set the active manipulator handle, or click the vertical button beside the X, Y, and Z buttons to set the active handle to XYZ. See Position the Modeling Toolkit custom pivot and Activate Modeling Toolkit tweak mode.

Soft Select: When enabled, the falloff region around your selection receives a weighted transformation based on the falloff curve. If this option is enabled and nothing is selected, moving your cursor over polygon components displays a preview of the soft selection. See Soft select a mesh with the Modeling Toolkit.
Tip: Use the b hotkey to toggle soft selection mode. Hold b and drag to resize the soft selection falloff area.
Falloff mode: Select from the following falloff distance types:

Volume: Extends a spherical radius around your selection and gradually influences all the vertices that are within the spherical range.
Surface: When the falloff mode is set to Surface, the soft selection is based on the distance from the selected components along the surface.

Falloff radius: Determines the area of deformation. Enter a value in the falloff radius field to adjust the area.
Tip: b + -drag to resize the size of the falloff area.
Falloff curve: Lets you modify the shape of the falloff. The shape of the curve indicates the shape of the falloff around the selected components. You can add additional points to the curve by clicking on the graph and you can modify the position of existing points by click-dragging.

Lets you lock components so they are excluded from transformations. See Lock vertices.
