I want to be able to move the XYZ position of an existing guide to a differnt place on the mesh.  how do I do this?

anyone?

Hi Andy,

Easy. Just select the guide in Root mode in EditGuides and use the default Maya transform tool to move the root of the guide. See image below:

Can you show me? I think this could happen in very complex and hi-poly surfaces.

i am having difficulty moving a guide without it jittering all over the place.  it is slower here since I am screen capturing at the same time... but its like 10x this speed.

using the latest stable build on Windows 7

I think this is related to the distribution mesh and the normals. Is hard to tell without the actual problematic scene.
