Element Edges dialog box

Elements to Check
Elements to Check	Lets you controls which element edges the software checks:Selected: Lets you select a subset of elements to check.Displayed: Lets you check all currently displayed elements.
Select Object	Available when Elements to Check is set to Selected.Lets you select the elements for which the software checks the element edges.
Element Labels	Available when Elements to Check is set to Selected.Lets you add elements to the selection.Use a space or coma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the element labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add element labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press Enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection .
Element Edge Checks
Free Edges	Displays all free (unconnected) element edges. A free element edge is an edge that is referenced by only one element.
Non-Manifold Element Edges	Displays all element edges that are shared by more than two element faces.
Display Settings (Free Edges/Non-Manifold Edges)
Color	Lets you select the color the software uses to display the free or non-manifold element edges.
Line Style	Controls the style of line that the software uses to display the free or non-manifold element edges.
Width	Controls the width of line that the software uses to display the free or non-manifold element edges.
Output
Output	Controls the domain in which the software searches for the free or non-manifold element edges.Compute Within Visible Model: Lets you find free or non-manifold element edges within meshes that are currently displayed.Compute Within Whole Model: Lets you find free or non-manifold element edges within all meshes in the model, including any meshes that are not currently displayed.
Generate Element Outlines	Highlights the free or non-manifold element edges.
Hide Input Meshes	Hides the selected mesh or meshes during the check. This allows any failed elements to stand out prominently.
