Select all the blue hard edges

Post by yashugan » 04 Oct 2019, 18:07

Hi! Justa a question: There is a way, or a plug in, that is able to select all the HARD EDGES (i mean the blue ones only) on a mesh?
I have seen some plug-ins, but they select edges only based on specific angle etc etc. Because if you work on IMMEDIATE mode, hard edges clusters are not visibile in mesh components.
If some one know something, thank a lot!

And thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

It looks like when the cluster is gone, this blue edge information is cached somewhere but I don't think it's accessible (maybe using the API)

Checking the polygon angles is not enough but RcTools has an edge selection filter that checks if the normals of the edge are split. Maybe this will work for your case

All hard edges by default are also creased edges so you can select them through the selection filter.

mHardEdgeMarker also has a button to filter hard edges

mHardEdeMarker has a button to select hard edges and a button to select edges by angles. Unless it’s an old version.

Anyway, tru selecting by crease edges
