Hi!

How can I make edge groups in wrangles? For example, if I want to group the edge between pt1 and pt2 (neighbours).

Also, how can I visualize edge groups in the spreadsheet? Is there a secret button to show them?

Ah!

So if I understand it well, I should only groups points and later use the group promote sop and convert to edges with the option:

"Include Only Elements Entirely Contained in Original Group"

that's not necessarily the same
as for example imagine simple grid with 4 points, all of them in point group
now edge group from it will contain all edges
however you may want just top and bottom edge, such groups also contains all 4 points, however you can't get that from group convert

so setedgegroup() may be preferred in such cases

you can also put the edge group name into Output Selection Group parameter on Wrangle to get the group highlighted in the viewport, that would hopefully account for missing spreadsheet entry
