Finding Sharp Edges

  1. Select Sharp Edges from the dropdown menu of the Detect tool in the Indentify group of the Prepare tab.
  2. Enter a Max edge angle in the options panel or keep the default value. This is the angle between normals of faces that share an edge. Additionally, choose to find Convex or Concave sharps.
  3. Click Find matching sharp edges to find edges sharper than the Max edge angle specified in a faceted or solid body. Any edges with an edge angle greater than the angle specified will be highlighted.
    Alternatively, in the options panel, you can select Automatically find matches, however, it may take a little longer to search and display the results on large models.
  4. Select the red highlighted face and choose to convert it to a named selection or a primary selection .
