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.
