I would have posted this in my 3dsmax comparison thread, but I decided to make a new thread for it, because it's driving me nuts! I did a goodle search, but the thread I turned up on blenderartists.org didn't give me an answer.

I know how to SLIDE an edge loop in Blender, or slide a number of edge loops. Very handy. However, I can't find a way to PINCH two edge loops together! There must be a simple way, but damned if I can find it.

For an example of what edge loop pinching is, in 3dsmax, check out this video starting at exactly 2:25:

Notice that two edge loops are selected, running parallel along a mesh surface. Using the pinch tool spinners, the artist has the ability to "slide" the edges away from each other, OR closer together, to create pinching! I've tried everything, including using the SLIDE function in Blender, with local origins, and individual pivot origins. Doesn't work. Both selected edge loops slide in the same direction. Anyone who knows the answer here, it will help greatly in the project I'm working on.
