Beta

These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

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.

01.0

Direction=Across/Along

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