Speed up your modeling cleanup workflow with Hard Edge Selection for Autodesk Maya.

Instead of manually clicking through edges to mark creases or hard-surface breaks, Hard Edge Selection lets you instantly select all hard edges on your mesh based on a crease angle range, with live feedback and one click.

Whether you're working on hard-surface models, mechanical parts, props, or complex topology, Hard Edge Selection helps reduce repetitive edge-picking and keeps your modeling workflow fast and clean.
