Edit Mesh Tools

Mesh Edit Tool adds several tools to Blender that are not available in the built-in tools or provide different methods for similar tasks. Each Menu: Vertex, Edge, Face and Utility is a sub panel that is closed by default in the Sidebar ‣ Edit tab. The Icons in the closed panel headers contain some new/different selection tools and Edit Mode vertex/edge/face selection modes for quick access to some tools, before opening the sub panels.

In the UI there are a variety of tools in each category, most tools have a tooltip to provide some usage information to help users understand each tools basic requirements. The most significant hotkey is in Edit Mode double RMB brings up the Vertex/Edge/Face menus depending on vertex/edge/face selection mode. Menu Integration is main tools into the Edit Mode context menu, selection tools into the Edit Mode select menu.
