Adding an Edge

Ribbon: Topoplan – Modify TIN > Add Mesh Edge

Menu: Topoplan – Modify TIN > Add Mesh Edge

Toolbar: Modify TIN > Add Mesh Edge

Comamnf line: NG_MESH_EDGE_ADD

The command adds a new edge to an existing surface (SubMesh or Polyface Mesh) at its boundary. An edge can only be added on a non-convex boundary (inner or outer) so that a new triangular face can be created without disturbing the 2.5D mesh.

The position of several faces can be successively changed. Pressing the ESC button closes the command.
