OFFTOPIC: I´m sorry to interrupt but, I just messed up my default keyboard configuration on modo. How do I reset to defaults? I´ve been trying to place "U", "T", "V" shortcuts from softimage associated functions, but apparently Modo has some other "extra" kind of configs for these selection sets....
Help please.

They're called weight containers. They're basically an item that stores a set of components, and associates weights to them. If you're curious as to how they work, I have a small intro video you could check over here... https://vimeo.com/91349882 I can think of a couple of ways of getting a falloff in the initial weights for the vertices in the container: 1. Just add the vertices to the container, and do a smooth weights on them. 2. Use falloff items to affect the weights I assign to the container. I have not tried this yet, and it'd be a little more involved to set up, but allow a lot of control given the options one has when using falloff items in Modo. In my case, the weighting tools work pretty well for me. There are some things I wish worked better, but there's nothing stopping me yet from getting what I need from the system. Sergio Muciño.
