pymel.core.modeling.polySlideEdge

polySlideEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Moves an edge loop selection along the edges connected to the sides of its vertices.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
absolute (a)		bool
	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 offFlag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
direction (d)		int
	This flag specifies the direction of the slide edge movement 1: is left direction (relative) 0: is right direction (relative)C: Default is 0
edgeDirection (ed)		float
	This flag specifies the relative percentage to move along the edges on either side of the vertices along the edge loopC: Default is 0.0

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polySlideEdge

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Moves the selected edge loops to the left by 50% of their neighbouring left edges
pm.polySlideEdge(edgeDirection=0.5, direction=1)

# Moves the selected edge loops to the right by 200% of the length of the shortest neighbouring right edge
pm.polySlideEdge(edgeDirection=2, absolute=True)
