I sometimes use the paint deformation tool in relax mode to quickly relax some area of the mesh. 

Today, all of a sudden, i couldn’t get it to work at all.

Every time I would paint on the mesh, the program jumps back to selection mode
and all I can do is select verts.

Anybody know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

That is odd. Does this happen in new scenes with a new model also? Could you provide more info on the model, Max version, etc?

Restart Max, I have seen this but can’t repo it so it is hard to bug report on.

i found it’s caused by the combination i have just above my edit poly:  poly select then symmetry.

I put the poly select on before the symmetry to avoid the symmetry from only mirroring my selection while editing.

i don’t use the paint deformation all that much.  so now, when i need to, i’ll just collapse to the symmetry, paint deform on one half of the mesh still, then reapply the symmetry again when i need it.
