Automatic Cage Assignment Property Editor
Controls the weight assignment of points on a caged object to the points or polygons of the cage deformers.
To apply: Select one or more high-resolution objects and clusters, then choose Modify > Deform > by Cage, pick one or more low-resolution objects as deformers, and finally right-click to finish.
To redisplay: In an explorer, click the Envelope_Weights icon under the appropriate cluster (by default CageWeightCls).

Use Polygon Deformer Components |
Assigns points on the deformed element to the polygons of the cage deformers. If this option is off, the deformee’s points are assigned to the cage deformer’s points. This option applies only for deformers that are polygon meshes. |

Strength, Falloff |
These two parameters determine the weight values of points. If Strength is relatively high, deformed points are weighted more strongly to the nearest components on the deformer, with a sharp falloff as the distance increases. If Falloff is relatively high, the weight values are more spread out. |
