find edge

I can't find a certain edge in my model, is there a function in 3ds max 7, that allows you to search for a certain edge, poly, face, or vertex? I have almost 2000 edges, if not, this will take forever.

I wish there was, but I don't think there is.

There is an stl check though, that checks for open edges and stuff. Its in the Modifier Stack.

Hope that helps.

Why must you locate an edge? If it is because of tool errors. Import the .WRL file.

trhat doesn't help! I can't find where the dang errors are! I can' even see em!


EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WAIT A MINUTE HERE!! WAIT JUST ONE FRICKING SECOND! I feel like an idiot. A updated edge error is when a face is flipped to the wrong side isn't it? AGH!! it was so simple! I don't see why I missed it! I even saw it i one of my renders! No wonder!!
