Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to Houdini and I have to say I'm pretty confused as to why there is no edge slide operator. All internet searches I've run seem to point to a plugin that hasn't been updated since Houdini 10:

I'm guessing it doesn't work anymore, since after installing I don't see a new SOP.

It strikes me as odd because Houdini's built in Edge Loop SOP draws a nice projection of a loop which it then turns into a polysplit. How hard would it be to create a SOP that does the first part pretty much the same and then moves the points accordingly rather than polysplit?

Does anyone know of a solution that isn't outdated?

I uploaded mine to Orbolt before the holidays, so waiting for it to be approved

In any case, if you can wait for a couple of days, it should be available here:
