polySlideEdge Toogle possible?

bugo · Oct 2009

Hey script masters, I was wondering if its possible to have a Toogle or maybe a way to access the tool of the polySlideEdge by MEL as I am not able to find how to do it using the polySlideEdge function in Maya. I kinda prefer putting on my own manipulation menu so I can select it faster. Any help appreciated.

Whenever I try polySlideEdge; it says:
// Error: Failed in parsing because no edgeDirection flag was specified //

O fun, an error message I didn't have in my collection yet.

Here's your answer:

Did you look into the MEL Script Editor?
It´s like a log for your actions, just use the polySlideEdge and you should see what Maya did?

I would look into it, but i don´t use maya anymore

Edit:

Have a look here:

Yeah, i did take a look, but its not a tool...

Thnkr, thanks man, it worked, possible doing a Toggle with that tool? Or maybe holding a hotkey to make the slide or something like that.

Thanks
