Can you slide a vertex across an edge?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hey, I just had a quick question.

Can you slide a vertex along an edge? It would just make sure all my edges keep straight where i want them and stuff. Cya.

Also, while holding "c", middle-mouse drag along the target edge for snapping.
