I apologize if the answer to this is somewhere obvious–through Googling I've found some of people asking this over the last 15 years, but no answers that work.

I have a model that I need to crease before subdividing. Manually selecting the edges is impractical–too many round buttons with flat tops. How can I automatically select/group just the edges joining faces with right-ish angles? I've tried the “include by edges” and setting min and max edge angles, but that doesn't appear to do anything unless you chose “Edge Angle Uses Angle Between Edges,” in which case it selects pretty much everything.

Thanks!

Hi,

I had to disable “base group”, or every edge will be selected.

Probably this should fix the problem.

Aha–turns out that, since it was imported as an alembic, I had to run it through a convert before it would work right. Thanks for your help, that's a good thing to know!
