Extract Edges

This effect can extract edges from mesh based on their properties.

Input:polygonal mesh
Output:edge wireframe
VTK classes:vtkFeatureEdges, vtkTriangleFilter, vtkCleanPolydata

Options

/_static/properties-extract-edges.png
Extract feature edges

Whether "sharp" edges should be extracted.

Tip

This refers to angle between faces, not explicitly marking edges as Sharp in Blender.

Feature edge angle
Minimum angle between faces to consider an edge as a "feature" edge.
Extract boundary edges
Whether boundary (ie. having just one face) edges should be extracted.
Extract non-manifold edges
Whether non-manifold (ie. having three or more faces) edges should be extracted.
Extract manifold edges
Whether manifold (ie. having two faces) edges should be extracted.
