polySlideEdge([absolute=boolean], [direction=uint], [edgeDirection=float])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
polySlideEdge is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
Moves an edge loop selection along the edges connected to the sides
of its vertices.

Properties |
edgeDirection(ed) |
float |
 |
|
This flag specifies the relative percentage to move along the
edges on either side of the vertices along the edge loop
C: Default is 0.0 |
|
direction(d) |
uint |
|
|
This flag specifies the direction of the slide edge movement 1:
is left direction (relative) 0: is right direction (relative)
C: Default is 0 |
|
absolute(a) |
boolean |
|
|
This flag specifies whether or not the command uses absolute
mode If in absolute then all vertices will move the same distance
(the specified percentage of the smallest edge)
C: Default is off |

command |
 Flag can appear in Edit mode of command |
 Flag can appear in Query mode of command |
 Flag can have multiple arguments, passed
either as a tuple or a list. |
