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 off
direction / d		int
	This flag specifies the direction of the slide edge movement 0: is left direction (relative) 1: is right direction (relative) 2: is normal 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 loop C: Default is 0.0
symmetry / sym		bool
	This flag specifies whether or not the command will do a symmetrical slide. Only takes effect when symmetry is enabled. C: Default is off Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

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)
