TYPE: SOP
TITLE: Soft Transform SOP

Soft Transform transforms the source points in "object space". Unlike the
Transform operation, Soft Transform takes into account a rolloff function and a
radius of influence. The points within radius distance to the selected group
will be displaced by an amount proportional to the distance.

Parameters:

    Group           - Subset of points to transform.
    Transform Order - Order in which transformations occur.
    Rotate Order    - Order in which rotations occur.
    Translate       - Amount of translation along xyz axes.         /tx /ty /tz
    Rotate          - Amount of rotation about xyz axes.            /rx /ry /rz
    Scale           - Non-uniform scaling along xyz axes.           /sx /sy /sz
    Pivot           - Local pivot point for transformations.        /px /py /pz
    Soft Radius     - Area of influence.                            /radius
    Soft Type       - Type of rolloff function.
    Tangent Angles  - Angles of the cubic rolloff function's tangents.
                      The first value applies to the tangent farthest from the
                      source point, the second applies to the tangent closest
                      to the source point.                              /tandeg
    Kernel Function - Metaball kernel to use when rolloff Type is "Meta-ball"
    Ignore Point Connectivity - Affect only points connected to the points in
                                the group, or all points within the radius.
    Recompute Point Normals - Recomputes point normals if they exist.
    Preserve Normal Length  - Normal lengths remain unaffected.
    Visualize Mode          - How to map the influence amount to a colour.
    Keep Visualization in Geometry - If true, the visualization of the
                              fall off is written directly to the geometry 
                              rather than just temporarily.

Local Variables:

    CEX, CEY, CEZ   - The centroid of the input
    GCX, GCY, GCZ   - The centroid of the input group
    XMIN, XMAX      - The X extents of the bounding box of the input
    YMIN, YMAX      - The Y extents of the bounding box of the input
    ZMIN, ZMAX      - The Z extents of the bounding box of the input
    SIZEX, SIZEY, SIZEZ - The size of the bounding box of the input
