Display connected edges on UV shells

When you want to perform a UV mapping operation on a model with many UV shells, it's helpful to know which shell edges are connected.

Note: Connected edges are only visible in the UV Editor.

To display connected edges on UV shells

1. In the UV Editor (Windows > UV Editor), right-click in the 2D view and select Shell.
   Note: You can also view connected edges in Edge, UV, Face, and Vertex component mode.
2. Shift + right-click in the 2D view and select Toggle Shell Borders.
3. Click a shell.
   Sets of connected edges are displayed in different colors, making it easy to identify edges that are shared.
