can you edge slide in houdini?…invaluable to the box modelling process…

not that i`m aware of.. which is a real shame.. sometimes i template the node previous to my edit and use that.. but of course then you cant slide your currently edited points..

annoying.

it might be possible to build a crude asset.. youd need to update a snapshot of the mesh after every edit then re-use it as a template and snap to edges..

any ideas from the forum?

What do you want to slide? Maybe you can use a carve sop and then reference the point in the geometry you want to slide?

I wrote a point slide tool but really it needs integrating into the edit sop. I would hassle Sesi to do it properly.
