Is this a bug? insert edge loop issue

Anonymous — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 22:05:32 GMT

Im really dumbfounded on this issue, I've been using maya for almost a year, and Ive used Insert edge loop for ages, now suddenly it doesnt work correctly 😕

I make a brand new object to eliminate all factors, I click and drag as usual, but the edge loop just snaps to the top/bottom/a side, and I cannot slide it, screencast shows where the loop goes and it wont budge, likewise on a basic cube etc.

I reset the tool settings, checked all other settings that may be relevant, but I cant solve it.

Please tell me Im just missing something stupidly simple? lol

If I change it to "multiple edge loops" I can set a loop dead centre, but cant slide it on the fly

Changing any other settings does nothing

You could try for now the multicut tool, it does almost the same thing. hold control.

Don't use preferences from the last version.

Let us know if is happening on a clean scene.
