Edit Point within Group ONLY!

I'm in a situation where I'm using the EDIT sop to move a point from a model.

I also would like a Soft Radius to affect the surrounding points, but ONLY within a group.

How do I do that?

I created a Group called “restrict” which features only the points I want affected by the Soft Radius.

Seeing as the EDIT sop Group box is taken up with the point I want to edit, where can I plug the group I created in order to restrict the Soft Radius?

Thank you!
Winter is coming!

I don't know if there's a way to do that unless you just copy back over the points that you want unaffected after the soft transform.

Working along the lines of what Edward suggested, attached is a scene which does more or less what you want. The only difference is that the group determines what you don't want to be affected, but I'm sure you can build off it.

Here's how it works:
1) Create a group of points that you don't want to be affected by the edit node
2) Do your sculpting through the edit node. This will affect everything.
3) Use an attribcopy to pull the points in the group back to their original position.

Hope this helps!
