I can't find any sort of mesh clean-up menu. I'd like to be able to find Ngons/degenerated faces/ect. quickly on large, complex meshes. Maya is great for this (highlights their locations without auto-fixing them). Can Blender do this?

I've checked the manual. It says to go to Mesh >> Cleanup. Where is this exactly?

  • Switch to edit mode and you will see the Mesh menu on the bottom of your 3D view window. – Denis Apr 03 '15 at 16:24

First, you need to be in Edit mode, then check the 3d view header (the bar at the bottom) of the 3d view and you will see the Mesh menu item.

Additionally, you can press Space and search for the operation you want to perform if you know the name.

You can use Select Faces by Sides[citation] to select all the n-gons like maya

  • That's great, thank you :) What about Ngons? Can Blender find these? – allen Apr 03 '15 at 16:35
  • This did not answer the question. – M. Miles Apr 04 '15 at 11:15

    @M.Miles Actually, your answer doesn't answer the question and should possibly be a comment on mine. What you answered was a followup, what op wants doesn't correlate with what he asked, if someone comes in the future looking for the mesh cleanup menu, they have it. – iKlsR Apr 04 '15 at 15:37

I use a nice little addon called MeshLint for locating Tris, Ngons, Interior Faces etc. within my models. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Modeling/MeshLint
