Hi,

I have a shell model comprised of many surfaces, between which I have shared topology to get a mesh connection. As you can see, some of edges turn blue, some pink, and some red after sharing topology.

In other models I've worked with, I've seen some edges turn yellow even (see solid object in image).

I cannot find any documentation anywhere, official or unofficial, that explains what these different colors mean. Does anyone know?

Please check

Red - edge connected to only one face
Blue- edge connected to 3 edges
Yellow - edges connected to more than 3 edges

Thank you, Keyur. However I did not see anywhere on that help page about the meanings of the colors you just describe.

some times the colouring of edges changes when you repeat the sharing topology , purple edges some time changes to yellow . is yellow egdes (more than 3 edges) when appear is a sign it is not shared probably. Although it is same geometry it change colour of yellow edges changes when you repeat shared topology

Also does preserve instance when you share topology is important to be unchecked or not
