  • do you mean to slide your vertex along the side outwards? There is a double G shortcut to activate sliding of the vertice on the edge, once you Alt whíle GG is active you will see that your vertice can slide outwards... is that what you wanted? – MikoCG Jan 19 '22 at 12:06
  • yes that is exactly what i wanted, thank you. can you add that as the solution? – Gunty Jan 19 '22 at 12:07
  • Hopefully it will help even more people, I notice a lot that many people don't know about this – MikoCG Jan 19 '22 at 12:10

Pressing G twice will activate sliding of the vertex on the edge: enter image description here

If you hold Alt while GG is active, you will see that yellow line is extended and you can slide outwards:

Edit: You can also press C instead of holding Alt to activate sliding outwards
