Define Work Region

Use the Define Work Region command to isolate a specified region of cage elements for editing.

Control cage elements outside of the defined work region are considered frozen.

Frozen cage elements:

  • Cannot be modified, either directly or indirectly by any specified falloff conditions.

  • Stay frozen until explicitly turned off.

  • Are colored to help distinguish between editable and non-editable cage elements. You can also hide the display of frozen cage elements.

**

Frozen Color = Red**

When defining a work region, the selection of cage faces includes their edges and vertices.
