Connect selected Muscle Smart Collide nodes

Once a Muscle Smart Collide node is created, it must be connected and weighted in a Muscle deformer.

To connect a node to a Muscle deformed object

1. Select one or more Muscle Smart Collide nodes, and one or more Muscle deformed objects (the order of selection does not matter).
2. Select Muscle > Smart Collision > Connect selected Muscle Smart Collide nodes from the main menu bar.

   The collide nodes are now connected, and are ready to be weighted and used.

To disconnect a Muscle Smart Collide node:

1. Select one or more Muscle Smart Collide nodes, and one or more Maya Muscle deformed objects (the order of selection does not matter).
2. Select Muscle > Smart Collision > Disconnect selected Muscle Smart Collide nodes from the main menu bar.

   The collide nodes are disconnected and no longer affect the cMuscleSystem node.
