Slide

Slide

The Slide command moves selected vertices (or vertices of selected edges) along adjacent edges.

Input:

• Mesh/SubD edge or edge loop
• Mesh/SubD vertex

Steps

1. Select mesh/SubD edges, edge loops, or vertices.

2. Move the mouse cursor and click.

   Or, type a value and press Enter.

   The arrows point out the positive direction that is used for value input.

Command options

Edge selection mode

• (Default)

  Click selects a single edge. Double-click selects an edge loop.

  Ctrl+click deselects a single edge. Ctrl+double-click deselects an edge loop.

• EdgeLoop

  Click an edge to select an edge loop.

  The clicked edge displays a brighter highlight than the other edges in the loop.

  Ctrl+click the same edge to deselect the loop.

OffsetMode

• Proportional

  The amount is proportional to each crossing edge length. The input number should be between 0 and 1.0.

• Absolute

  The amount is same for all edges. The input number is a distance in the model unit.
  

Smoothness (0 - 1.0)

0 moves vertices linearly along the edges towards the next vertices. 1.0 moves vertices in the most curved path towards the next vertices.

Direction=Across/Along

Moves edges in the side direction (Across), or in the edge direction (Along).
