TYPE: SOP
TITLE: Edit SOP

Edit allows interactive editing of the source geometry.

Transforms, Soft Transforms, Peaks, and Soft Peaks are supported. Soft
Transform/Peak apply only to points.

The usefulness of the Edit operation depends on the needs of a particular
modeling task.  Careful use of the Edit operation in combination with other
operations will provide maximum modeling power and flexibility.

Edit is a cumulative operation, meaning that several editing tasks can be
performed within a single operation. Thus, repeated uses of Edit will not
create an Edit node in the network each time a new editing operation
begins or the selection changes.

Edit is not animatable. To animate transformations, use the Point,
Transform, Soft Transform, Peak, and Soft Peak operations, or other deformers.

Edit has an optional second input for specifying a reference geometry.
When a reference geometry is specified, the edits are transformed according to
the differences between the input geometry and the reference geometry.

Please see the four related animatable operations for parameter information.

The Edit brush is designed to allow you to adjust the shape of geometry
using a brush. The deform mode will displace the geometry based upon the current
displacement amounts. The smooth mode will just smooth out the geometry.

This operation is meant to be used interactively in the viewport.
