Cannot Access Deformers in Relationship Editor in Maya 2023

[Bicker424]

Upon creating any deformer in Maya 2023, whether it's a sculpt, wire, or shrinkwrap, I am unable to access them in the relationship editor, which is necessary for removing any vertices that I do not want affected by the deformer.

In 2023 Deformers use Component Tags for deformer membership.

Component tags are more powerful than the old group parts/ids and result in a much cleaner and performant node network.

See this help topic For details on how to edit deformer membership when using component tags.

Note: If you want to go back to using group parts/ids you can disable component tags in the Preferences under Animation > Rigging.

That does work, thanks. While waiting for a response, I was looking for a new means of modifying the deformer membership and happened upon the "Paint" option, but it looks like it only works with certain deformers.
