Thanks Brian… this is in fact what I was looking for… However I think I was not as clear in my question as I should have been.
What I want to be able to do is “Select” points or polygons while an object is being deformed. And then use the move tool or scale tool.
For some reason this does not work even with deormed edit selected. I guess the selection tool assumes the points are existing at the actual undeformed coordinates rather than the deformed :visual” coordinates.
Which is odd becouse things like the pull, smear, smooth brush do infact work great in deformed mode but the selection tool doesn’t
Or does it???
