Default Re: Move vertice along surface edge

Came across this semi-old thread as I was searching the forums --- Dughor, if you still need this functionality, I have a TCL script here that does it:

See the "Move Toward" plugin/script.

+-----------------+

After - when inserting vertices and splitting the surface
+--------+--------+
|        |        |
+--------+--------+
Now, if I need that cut at 2/3, I have to move the two middle vertices.
Thats no problem, if the angle of the surface is exactly 90° (as i can only move x/y/z)

But as soon as it has an other angle, I have to move a little in each direction. (x/y/z) Guessing, to keep both surfaces plan to each other.

Now, what I like to do:
Inser the two middle vertices, and move them along the surface edge.
Then split the surface at the new vertice-location
