Currently, Vertex/Edge Slide offers Factor control, but I found that, quite often, users may want to slide elements by a given distance.
For example, if we want to slide a vertex by 2 along a edge with length of 5.5364, we can figure out the correct Factor by typing calculation like: 2/5.5364, which is 0.361246; and if we want to define 2 as the distance towards another vertex on the same edge, then we can generate by calculation 1-2/5.5364, which is 0.638754, etc. I mean this is NOT bad really, just not so effective for users who use it quite often like this (archetects for instance), since I've seen quite a bit of questions online, directly or indirectly, related to how to precisely control edge length or vertex movements along edge. In a word, benefits are: - Straightforward length control (for existing edges). - Straightforward slide control (by using distance value other than factor). I bet a small usibility improvement on this commonly-used tool will be much helpful. FYI. Thanks. -- Leon Cheung a.k.a.
