The Edge grip has two edit modes:
Stretch and Move. The default
mode is Stretch, and the direction
of the stretch depends on the orient-
ation of edges connected to the
selected edge. For example, if the
edges at both ends of the selected
edge are parallel, the grip edit
mode is Stretch (Parallel) and the
stretch direction is limited to the
direction of the parallel edges. If the
connected edges are not parallel,
the grip edit mode is Stretch (Off-
set) and the stretch direction is
perpendicular to the direction of
the selected edge. The Move edit
mode allows an unconstrained
move of the selected edge.
