Hi djxyz ,

I'm also absolutly don't understand why they ****ing delete these possibility shotcut!

Now the slide process on Maya is slower than before and a pan to use!

It took me few days to adapt to this new changes in MAYA. after mapping slide edge to keyboard "A" I found it easier to use especially when I use it with tweak mode. (less key to press) try to customize your hotkey. it will make your life easier.

what I heard from old user is that they keep changing MAYA interface every few releases so we can only adapt to the new changes...

so far I am very happy with having MTK integrated with Maya default manipulator. sculpt tool also is a big addition, however, I am still sad due to the fact that they dont improve node editor....

and 3dsmax 2016 gets awesome MaxCreationGraph. which makes MAYA node editor even more embarassing 😞

sad sad sad

I too find this a problem.  I don't often use the slide edge option, I really need the slide vertex along edge.  This was a nice feature in the NEX toolkit that was integrated into Maya interface.  Where has it gone???

Hi,
to slide vertices along edge use Ctrl + MMB.

[Anonymous]

sorry, use C + MMB

[NathanSchroeder]

That does not work.  That only constrains it to the axes of the manipulator.

[NathanSchroeder]

Can someone corraborate this please?  Can anyone else slide vertex along edge using C + MMB?

Hi Nathan, this option is found under Bonus Tools "Modeling >Slide components...grab a vertex and Middle mouse around it will follow curvature...eges too.... Maya 2016.

[NathanSchroeder]

I have found the solution.  One must first enable "reposition using MMB" under manipulators in the preferences menu.

hi guys,

i hate this as well!

a found a short way to slide vertex/edges;

assign a keyboard shortcut to the command "slide edges" located under mesh tool windows.

so everytime i have to slide i press first assigned button to switch into slide mode and to start sliding.

bye

Great tip!  I will try this out

That doesn't work for vertices. Why did they cut this option? It's very annoying. I want to slide vertices along the edges by holding crtl+shift. How can I do it in Maya 2016?

You can create a hotkey to toggle Slide Surface on and off. Open the hotkey editor and enter "slide" in the search box...then scroll down to the modeling toolkit section and assign your hotkeys.

Yes, thank you. That's work.
