Selecting Edges

If the modeler is in edge selection mode, click an object's edge in the view window to select it. To select multiple edges, hold the Ctrl key as you click the edges.

When the mouse hovers over an edge in the view window, that edge is highlighted, indicating it is clickable. Selected edges become the color specified under the Display tab of the Modeler Options dialog box. All other objects become relatively transparent.

Switch to edge selection mode using one of the following methods:

Click Edit > Selection Mode > Edges.
Select Edge from the drop-down menu on the Model ribbon.
Right-click in the modeler window, and then click Selection Mode > Edges.
Press the shortcut key E.

Edit > Extend Selection offers additional edge selections such as

Select Edge Chain selects the edges that touch the selected edge.
Select Connected Faces selects faces touching to the current selection.
Select Connected Edges selects the edges that touch the current selection.
Select Connected Vertices selects the vertices of the selected edge or edges.
