Is there a tool in Maya as in 3Dmax Constrain vertex to edge, so you can slide vertices up and down an edge with out losing the shape of the object.

curve snap the vertex when you move it.....hold c down when you move the vert

That does not work very well if at all. Any other options.

cant say i know max so i cannot compare what you are referring to....but i do this all the time in maya...make sure you use MMB.




You should also be able slide verts that have history on them ie: MjPolytools scripts or split polygon.....but this method is a bit more gruesome

Ok got it working thanks for the help. The trick I was not getting is you have to click on the side of the circle you want to slide towards. If you click in the center it just goes where ever, kinda weird but hey.

if you hold the w key down you will get some relevant features for moving....with spacing....local....global....etc etc
