Slide
Slide tool in point mode (left-most circle) and edge mode (right-most circle).
The Slide tool allows you to slide points or edges over the mesh. The tool works in point mode or edge
mode. A selection is not required. You can slide the point or edge no further than the next point or
edge along. If you hold down the Ctrl key while you slide points, the points will be welded with the
next point along in the direction of the slide.
Attribute manager settings
After sliding the elements, you can adjust their positions using the Value setting.
Stitch And Sew
The primary purpose of the Stitch And Sew tool is to join together object edges that have the same
number of points. The tool works in all three modes (point, edge and polygon). However, it works with
somewhat limited functionality in the polygon mode. In most cases, a selection is required.
