soft selection Lock?

[maxedesa]

Does anyone know if there is a way to deform an editable poly with soft selection but look certain verts, like around the edge?
For example, on the image below, you could push and pull verts in Z but the edges would stay in the same location. This would be a nice thing to know.

Use multiple selection modifiers allowing you to remove the boarder verts and you will be good to go.
