Edge Groups Manager

dgtl-graphics in Modeling


Accessing the Panel

The addon panel is located in 3D Viewport › Sidebar (N-Panel) under the category specified in addon preferences (default: Edit).

The panel is available in all modes. Attribute controls, overlay, and weight assignment are only available in Edit Mode. In all other modes, you can rename or delete attributes.

Interface Overview

Edge Attributes Panel

Edge Overlay: Enables/disables the edge highlight overlay in Edit Mode, coloring edges with non-zero attribute values.

X-Ray Overlay: Makes the overlay visible through other geometry.

Edge Labels: Shows numerical weight values on top of edges.

X-Ray Labels: Disables occlusion for weight labels, showing them through geometry.

Add Attribute: Creates a new float edge attribute with a unique name (default: “Bevel”).

Attribute List: Displays all edge float attributes. Click the × button to remove one. Double-click an existing attribute to edit its name. Renamed attributes are automatically synchronized in any Bevel and Geometry Nodes modifiers referencing them.

Weight Slider: Sets the weight value to assign to selected edges. A label next to the slider displays the weight of the currently active edge.

Select / Deselect: Select or deselect edges based on their attribute values.

Assign / Remove: Assign the current weight to selected edges, or remove them from the active attribute.

Vertex Attributes Panel

An optional panel for managing vertex float attributes. Can be shown or hidden in addon preferences (Show Vertex Panel).

Vertex Overlay: Enables/disables the vertex highlight overlay, drawing colored circles on vertices with non-zero attribute values.

X-Ray Overlay: Makes the vertex overlay visible through geometry.

Vertex Labels: Shows numerical weight values next to vertices.

X-Ray Labels: Disables occlusion for vertex weight labels.

 

All other controls (Add, List, Weight, Select/Deselect, Assign/Remove) work identically to the Edge panel.

Pie Menu

A quick-access pie menu for assigning and removing attribute weights without navigating the sidebar. The hotkey is configurable in addon preferences (default: Shift+Q in Edit Mode).

West — Assign: Assigns the current weight to selected edges or vertices.

East — Remove: Removes selected elements from the active attribute.

South — Attribute List: Shown when more than one attribute exists. Click to switch the active attribute. (Can be turned off in Preferences)

North — Domain Switcher: Shown when both Edge and Vertex panels are active. Switch between domains without closing the menu.
