I could never find the answer to this. Using Maya 2016 SP6.

This only happens with Maya 2016 (no matter the service pack) NOT 2015 or any prior versions.

Happens whenever I toggle on Soft Selection (the B key). Whenever Im working on retopo or UVing or just using soft selection in general, it will crash Maya eventually. It seems at random but ONLY when I toggle soft selection using B.

At first I thought it was an issue with quad draw because I use SS with it occasionally but it happened during UVing as well. Doesnt seem to matter what im using, just simply toggling it on will cause Maya crash completely after a while. It never crashes toggling off, just on.

I could really use the help. Ive reinstalled and applied the latest updates. Even deleted my entire Maya folder, everything, and worked retopo on a mesh for awhile to see if toggling it would crash and it did.

So far..
- I uninstalled deleting everything.
- Reinstalled with no plugins.
- Retopoed with no plugins to see if it crashes.
- Updated my graphics card (nvidia gtx 650).
- Updated via windows update for the sake of it.

No Idea whats causing this.
