Restricting dForce Contraction/Expansion to an area

grohotes3d

I want to restrict the dForce 'contraction/expansion' parameter to a specific area, but I'm unable to create a weight map for it. I don’t want to assign it to a new surface because the cloth is cut in a specific pattern, and I rely on the surfaces to recolor those areas without altering the texture maps. Is there another way to limit the contraction/expansion to a specific region?

You can easily assign it to a new surface and keep the pattern, if you just apply the same surface setting to both and then change contraction/expansion for one.
