Slide edge (not a bug)

Hello,

When sliding a vertex or edge, the edge(s) being slid along should remain stationary, but they are moving.

Quick example with a cube:-

High-lighted edge being moved in direction of red arrow along the 2 edges shown with blue arrows. Those 2 edges shown with blue arrows should remain stationary.



After using any of the slide commands the 2 edges that should of remained stationary have moved.

[I have duplicated the cube so you can see the error]

The slide tool you used is for organic purpose.

There is a way. Turn on Edit > Options > Vertex Transform Along Edges. Then use the move manipulator. If you have two or more edges selected, you also use the rotate/scale manipulator. Don't forget to turn off this option afterwards.

ya if your familiar with max steve, "Vertex Transform Along Edges", works identical to using edge constraints in max.

I have not come across an "Organic slide". I will have to search for some info.

Thanks,

I do not have a lot of experience with poly modelers. I normally model with nurbs (rhino / solidworks etc). The poly modelers I have used, the "Slide" is always edge constraint.
The last time I used max, it was still called 3d studio (good old DOS days lol).
Is there an "organic slide" in MAX? (I will have to check it out).

OK, I understand it now. It is sliding along a calculated spline.
