grouping edges for meshing
 
I have a large number of edges to be meshed the same manner. the edges are almost the same length. they are not being picked by "parallel" as they are not such. i can pick them one by one in the "copy to selected" mode.

how to keep the once picked edges linked so i could change the node number on one of them and it will apply the same settings to all the once selected edges. this way i can change the nodes number several times to see how it works out for me.

I'm not sure if it is possible to group edges. But you could maybe use a replay file so you'd only have to do the copying once.
  1. Start Recording.
  2. Set node bunching on first edge for reference.
  3. COPY...
    • Copy to all of them manually.
      OR
    • Copy one of them manually & duplicate line in Replay Script and replace Vertice numbers of other lines
  4. Save the replay file
  5. Edit the line recorded in step 2 and Run the replay script.

hey
tnx a lot for your promptness
ill try this
however, i wonder if the grouping option is anyway available as the one you have proposed, though will work, still seems like "they probably know how to do it in a more straight forward way" :-)
thanks again
