Edge Sliding in 3ds Max...

Havok · Aug 2008

Hey, I just have a hopefully quick question for you guys. Is there an edge sliding tool in Max? When I was playing with modo a while back, I found the edge sliding tool quite useful. If you are unsure what I am talking about, in modo it allows you to slide edges along a surface without losing the shape/topology of the area on the mesh. It is quite handy and I would love to use a similar tool in 3ds Max. Thanks in advance.

Modo's such a copycat

Easy access through shift-x

Wow! Thanks so much. It has been right in front of me the whole time and I never knew it.

CsPolyTools --> csSlide script , it's for free

Polyboost has a feature called "ShfitLoop" which has some advances options (it can slide an edge loop and make the distance to sides the same for all the verts in the loop)

I use both that are mentioned here. Max's buit in geom restraints are damn handy. But there are times where CSSlide from CSPolyTools can do it better. Though I think that only works with edges? Can't recall.
