Part of object appears locked when deforming using smooth bind

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Part of object appears locked when deforming using smooth bind

Hi again...

Another newbie issue...

I have bound two separate joints to a polygon as in the picture below, as a smooth bind. The part on the left rises fine and deforms as expected - but a part of the object on the right is 'glued' to the ground.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks...

Dan
