Edge
====

Edge feature creates one or several edges using shapes already existing in other objects.

To create edges in the active part:

#. select in the Main Menu *Build - > Edge* item  or
#. click |feature_edge.icon| **Edge** button in the toolbar

The options to create edges:

.. figure:: images/edge_by_segments_32x32.png
   :align: left
   :height: 24px

**By edges** creates edges using already existing edges in other shapes or full sketches.

.. figure:: images/edge_by_points_32x32.png
   :align: left
   :height: 24px

**By points** creates segment between two points.

By edges
--------

.. figure:: images/Edge.png
  :align: center

  Create by edges

Select one or several edges in the viewer. Also, the full sketch can be selected. In this case, all edges of the sketch will be processed.
Checkbox **Compute intersections** forces to split sketch edges in the points of intersection.

**Apply** button creates edges.

**Cancel** button cancels the operation. 

**TUI Command**:

.. py:function:: model.addEdge(Part_doc, Shapes, Intersect)

    :param part: The current part object.
    :param list: A list of shapes.
    :param bool: Split edges by intersection points. False by default.
    :return: Result object.

Result
""""""

The result of the operation will be a set of edges created from the selected shapes:

.. figure:: images/CreateEdge.png
  :align: center

  Result of the operation.

**See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_edge` operation.


By two points
-------------

.. figure:: images/EdgeByTwoPoints.png
  :align: center

  Create by points

Select two points in the viewer.

**Apply** button creates a segment.

**Cancel** button cancels the operation. 

**TUI Command**:

.. py:function:: model.addEdge(Part_doc, Point_1, Point_2)

    :param part: The current part object.
    :param object: First point.
    :param object: Second point.
    :return: Result object.

Result
""""""

The result of the operation will be a segment bounded by selected points:

.. figure:: images/CreateEdgeByPoints.png
  :align: center

  Result of the operation.
