Soft Selection
 

Hello all, I am new to Maya and to this board. I just have a quick question.

Does Maya have a feature similar to 3ds max's soft selection?
To those who are unfamiliar with 3ds, you use it to select and manipulate vertices, and then it will also select vertices close to the ones you selected and manipulate them to a lesser degree.

theres a script for it on highend, not sure what its called but it amost does the same thing as max..
though it says in the Docs that its more like soft selection in xsi than max, but iv ever used xsi so i dont know.
