Edge Weighting


This is a completly new tool of SoD 2.0.
When activated, you can interactivly select or weight edges. The affected edge will get highlighted when you move the mouse over it.
Since this is a MouseTool, all keyboard-hotkeys will be deactivated and you should not use the 3DSMax UserInterface too much while the tool is running.
If 'Apply Weight' is assigned to the left mouse button, you can also click and drag up/down on an edge to apply weight.
All options can be changed while the EdgeTool is running.
Although you can stop the EdgeTool with the ESC-Key, you should not do that, because SoD will not recognize that the tool has stopped.
