Sorry, I couldn't find anything technical (other than sliding of land)but found also "slip" and "slippage" for glissement, used in textile designing, there are several sources on the net (but I'm running out of time this morning)

Note from asker:
| Thanks. This is the obvious answer, but it doesn't seem to mean much. I wondered if it wasn't more technical |

moving them around
The way I see it, is the materials are moved around.
Otherwise you could use sliding but you'd have to refer back to "materials" by using "them"

Most architects use CAD to achieve the effects they are looking for, could "glissement" refer to the software, as in "dragging" (and dropping)?

Note from asker:
| yes, I thought of 'using sliding techniques' although I don't really see what it means, or thought of opting for 'shifting them around', but still.... ! |

blurring
I don't disagree with sliding but was just wondering if this might be more the idea. Just because sliding doors or panels are "coulissants" not "glissants".

tilting, deflection
or your 'shifting' is also along these lines
from sense of 'déplacement de matériaux meubles sur un versant' or 'passer graduellement d'un état à l'autre', 'se déplacer d'un movement continu ' (Larousse)
