UV's get distort on maya

Question

First of all, let say to you I'm pretty new to Maya, and I just started to texturing.

My question is, everytime I move or resize an UV, every other adjacent UV in the plane get's distorted.

So I'm asking if there is a way to turn this "feature" off

This happens with every transform, like rotation and moving as well... Thank you for your time

Answer 1

You have Soft Selection Mode turned on

• You can toggle it on and off with b
• You can adjust the size of the falloff by holding down b and dragging the mouse
• You can change other settings for it by going to Tool Settings (double-click the Move tool in the toolbox, among other ways)

Soft select off:

Soft select on:

It's a useful tool, at least when you can turn it on and off :)
