Slide
The Slide tool allows shifting edges along their connected geometry while maintaining surface integrity. It is useful for refining topology and adjusting edge flow.
How it works
Select one or multiple edges
Press N to activate the tool
Once activated, a blue handle appears:
Dragging the handle moves the edge along its surface.
Holding Shift while dragging the handle creates a duplicate of the edge and moves it along the surface.
Clicking on the handle opens a context menu with additional settings.
Context menu options
Offset – controls the displacement distance of the edge from its original position
Copies – duplicates the selected edge and slides the copies along the surface
