Weights ‣ Normalize All

For each point, this tool makes sure that the sum of the weights across all vertex groups is equal to 1. It normalizes all of the vertex groups, except for locked groups, which keep their weight values untouched.

Lock Active

Keep the values of the active group while normalizing all the others.
