polyMoveEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Modifies edges of a polygonal object. Translate, move, rotate or
scale edges.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Give a name to the resulting node. |

Note: If the object already has construction history then
this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the
history chain. |

Defines how to evaluate the node.
- 0: Normal
- 1: PassThrough
- 2: Blocking
- 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when
enabled
- 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when
enabled
