Smoothing a mask

On 3dcoat.com/learn there is a Pose tool video that shows him smoothing a mask at 11:45 using the "Select with pen" option.  I don't have that option on the current version and cannot locate a way to smooth the edges of the mask.  I've tried holding shift, but it does nothing.  The SmoothPoseSel is now called Smooth Selection, but doesn't seem to do anything, and neither does Adjust Transition Area.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

3DC version, beta 4.7.36

Your  version of 3DC is helpful and a screen shot showing your UI with the pose tool panel showing and the top tool panel, so the settings can be seen.

I just tested on the default male model in surface mode. I res+ once to 6 million to polygons.  No problem smoothing the edges of the pose mask.  

Is your smoothing degree set really low in the top tool panel settings.

What is your polygon triangle count shown in the lower part of the UI.

Try the settings in the tool options panel marked in "Red"

Paint Select

Hide Gizmo. The gizmo will be out of your way.

Select a regular brush from the E-Panel and then an apha that would work well for smoothing. Do not select a spline tool.

Hold down shift has you have done when brushing for smoothing.

Not sure why it is not working for you. The only other thing I can advise is check to make sure you are on the correct Vox Tree layer...

Since you have " Through all Volumes" selected in the top menu. You could be on the wrong layer for smoothing.

Even though you can atm create a pose selection through all Vox tree layers, you can not smooth through all layers. You still have to select the correct vox tree layer.

I think I will post about that in the beta fourm in a day or two.
