Add _testMarkOTEdges to the Edge Tools panel

@menno @wim Would it make sense to add an icon for _testMarkOTEdges and include it in the Edge Tools panel?

It’s a very useful diagnostic command, but most users never discover it because it’s hidden behind the _test prefix. Since Edge Tools already groups edge-analysis commands together, _testMarkOTEdges seems like a natural fit there. It could help users identify problematic edges faster without having to remember the command name.

Icon proposals for _testMarkOTEdges


It’s a must have tool that saved me many times.
Not only this test command deserves an official icon. There are many valuable hidden test commands that transform Rhino into a much more convenient and powerful program.

P.S. My dream command is “ListAllHiddenCommands” that transforms the current Rhino into Rhino 12.

With this command “ListAllHiddenCommands”, we’ll probably discover there’s also a hidden command called _GeneratePerfectSurfaces, but the developers keep it secret just to watch us suffer while inventing increasingly creative ways to build the same surfaces. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

“testEnableUdin” is also a nice proposition.

@Rhino_Bulgaria This looks like science fiction! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: But I still don’t understand: is it a plugin, or a standalone CAD application?

It’s a new CAD program for industrial design whose public demo is supposed to be unveiled in a few weeks.

FWIW - this is the equivalent to the test command you mentioned.

If you take a closer look of my video, I placed that hidden command as a RMB click of the “Show edges” tool, in order to save space and utilize and existing icon.
