# Edges

Click this tool when you want to edit the edges of polygons. Selected edges are colored.

You can select and edit edges in much the same way as for points.

- To select an edge, drag over the edges with the **Brush Selection** tool, just as you would to select points (or use any other selection tool).
- To add edges to the selection, hold down `Shift` while you select.
- To remove edges from the selection, hold down `Ctrl/Cmd` while you select.
- To select all edges, choose **Select / Select All**.
- To deselect all edges, choose **Selection / Deselect All** or drag the selection tool over an empty space within the Viewport.

You can use the **Move**, **Scale** and **Rotate** tools to edit the selected edges. To delete the selected edges (including their polygons), press `Delete`.

> **Tip:** Tools that can be useful for editing such as the **Bevel**, **Edge Cut** and especially the [Polygon Pen](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TOOLPOLYPEN.html.md) can be called up via a context menu. To do so, simply right-click on a point. Mac users need to `Cmd`+click to call up the context menu.
