How do I select sharp edges in blender?

Found it:

1. Go to edge select mode.
2. Select one of the edges marked as sharp.
3. ( shift G) > sharpness OR in the header: select > select similar (shift G) > sharpness.

How do I edit edges in blender?

Selecting things in Edit mode works just like selecting anywhere else:

1. Right-click any vertex to select it.
2. Select and deselect multiple vertices by Shift+right-clicking them.
3. Select large groups of vertices by using the Border Select tool (B), Circle Select (C), or Lasso Select (Ctrl+left-click+drag).

How can I Make my Blender have sharp edges?

I set the segments to 2, and the profile to one, adjust the amount by eye, and then choose between the option of using the the angle of the edges to decide what will be hard edged (similar to using an edge split modifier), or using a bevel weight to have complete control over which parts are hard edged.

When do the edges of a blender become a miter?

A miter is formed when two beveled edges meet at an angle. On the side where the angle is greater than 180 degrees, if any, it is called an outer miter . If it is less than 180 degrees, then it is called an inner miter .

When to turn off the bevel modifier in Blender?

Limits the width of each beveled edge so that edges cannot cause overlapping intersections with other geometry. If there are unbeveled edges along with beveled edges into a vertex, the bevel tries to slide along those edges when possible. Turning the option off can lead to more even bevel widths.

What is the value of a bevel in Blender?

The distance from the new edge to the original. The distance between the two new edges formed by the bevel (or the edges on either side of the bevel if there is more than one segment). Value is the perpendicular distance from the new bevel face to original edge.

How do I select sharp edges in Blender?

What do sharp edges do in Blender?

The Sharp flag is used by the split normals and the Edge Split modifier, which are part of the smoothing/customized shading techniques. As seams, it is a property of edges, and these operators set or unset it for selected ones.

How do you export a mesh in Blender?

5. Leave all other settings at default.
6. Press Export OBJ.

Can you export mesh from Blender to obj?

As you all know, and are struggling with, mesh exporting from blender to obj files can take quite some time and effort, since we are needing to divide up our models into x pieces and then needing to export them one-by-one and naming them while at it.

Is it bad to export a mesh with a sharp edge?

However, if you apply this modifier and export the .OBJ file it will split the mesh wherever you have a sharp edge marked, essentially splitting the mesh into many pieces. This is bad because it makes the mesh difficult to work with and has the added bonus of inverting the normals on random split pieces whenever recalculated.

Is there way to export smooth groups in Blender?

The “smooth groups” export option creates unlimited smooth groups within the OBJ object which is good but I think Maya and 3ds max (Used by devs at SOE) work with limited smooth groups so you might want to go with “bitflag smooth groups” instead just to be sure. This option also makes the file size a little smaller.

Is there a way to shade hard edges in Blender?

In order to shade hard marked edges in Blender you have to use the Edge Split modifier. I prefer to mark my hard edges manually when using this modifier. I un-check the Edge Angle box and check the Sharp Edge box in the edge split modifier panel.
