Surface and Analyze Edge Tools > Show Edges |
The ShowEdges command highlights naked, non-manifold or all edges of the selected surface, mesh and SubD objects.
Steps
- Select objects.
The edges highlight and the ends of edges are marked with point display markers in the color you selected.
Edge Analysis options
Show
All edges
Displays the edges of objects, including:
All edges of surfaces, polysurfaces, and Extrusions.
Naked, creased, and soft crease edges of SubDs.
Naked and unwelded edges of meshes.
Naked edges
Displays open edges in surfaces, polysurfaces, meshes, and SubDs.
A surface, polysurface, mesh, SubD edge that is not connected to another edge. Solid objects have no naked edges.
Non-manifold edges
Displays the edges of polysurfaces or meshes shared by more than two faces.
Zoom
Zoom to include the selected edges.
| Zoom options | |
|---|---|
|
All |
Zooms to include all naked edges. |
|
Current |
Zooms to the first edge in the selection. This useful if you zoom out with the mouse and want to zoom back in. |
|
Next |
Zooms to the next edge in the selection. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Previous |
Zooms to the previous edge in the selection. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Mark |
Marks the ends of the edge with point objects. If the All option was previously selected, all naked edges are marked. |
Edge color
Sets the display color for the edges.
Add Objects
Adds objects to the edge display.
Remove Objects
Removes objects from the edge display.

All |
Zooms to all naked edges. |
|
Current |
Zooms to the current naked edge. This useful if you zoom out with the mouse and want to zoom back in. |
|
Next |
Zooms to the next naked edge. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Previous |
Zooms to the previous naked edge. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Mark |
Marks the current naked edge by adding point objects at each end. If the All option was previously selected, all naked edges are marked. |

All |
Zooms to all non-manifold edges. |
|
Current |
Zooms to the current non-manifold edge. This useful if you zoom out with the mouse and want to zoom back in. |
|
Next |
Zooms to the next non-manifold edge. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Previous |
Zooms to the previous non-manifold edge. If the selected objects have only one naked edge, this option is not displayed. |
|
Mark |
Marks the current non-manifold edge by adding point objects at each end. If the All option was previously selected, all non-manifold edges are marked. |
