   This addon is an implementation of the concept of sliding vertices around
  on edges.  It is used to finetune/redraw edges/edgeloops through the process of sliding
  vertices.  It can be used to slide anything anywhere.

  To my knowledge this is a new concept in 3D modeling. Try it and you will
  see how it can impact your modeling habits.

  You are able to tune vertices by sliding by freehand-redrawing them on the
  edges they are part of.

  

  

  

  Documentation

  

  

  First install the addon by going to User Preferences-> AddOns and choosing
  "Install from file". Locate the downloaded file and install it.

  Enable the script in User Preferences->AddOns->Mesh.

  

  

  The addon will work on any vertice/edge/face-selection. 

  Make a selection, click the EdgeTune button on the Mesh Tools panel.

  (addon only accessible when in EditMode).   

  

  The selection will be visualized in yellow.
  EdgeTune will abide by the limited visibility setting.
  Press and hold left-mouse button and draw freely across the "slide-edges",
  visualized in red.

  The respective selected vertices will change position on the slide-edge to
  the new position you choose by moving over it with the left mouse-button
  pressed.  Vertices can be made to move past the end of the edge by
  keeping leftmouse pressed, and moving along the supporting edge and
  further in that same direction.

  

  Undo one step a time with Ctrl-Z.

  Press ENTER/RETURN to finalize the operation.

  

  Just press the right-mouse-button to cancel the addon operation.

  

  Change orientation the standard Blender way.

  HINT: EdgeTune is also multi-vertex-slide."""
