Maya2012 - objects light up yellow

n88tr

So i started to model a second robot model [slightly more fun than guns, more of a challenge] and I pressed some key or other and now my model lights up yellow and when I try to resize like 1 face with the resize tool the whole model resizes even though i have only 1 face selected

it looks like this



anyone know how to turn this off?

thanks

That's the soft selection, press b to toggle it on/off. Also holding b and drag with left click resizes the boundary.
