I am trying to find a functional way in perspective to allow users to split time events with a slider. I am looking to allow a 2 handle slider (one on each end). Essentially allowing the user to easily split a single duration event into 3 events (one before and/or one after). I am having a little trouble trying to use the slider itself, I can only seem to get numeric values and it only allows a single handle. Does anyone have a suggestion on a direction? ---
