Edit mesh modifier - Blender

Ruz · Nov 19 2025

so the 'Edit mesh' modifier in blender ? wtf is it supposed to do apart from freeze the

previous modifers in the stack. Once you add an 'edit mesh' modifier, it seems to be destructive ie if you delete it you are left with a version with all the modifiers applied.

maybe I am missing something here? might be just as easy to convert to mesh after making a duplicate

I didn't recall seeing a modifier named Edit Mesh in Blender and couldn't find it in the list. A web search turned up an addon creating something named like that. It's definitively not a native feature, so maybe it's broken in newer versions or is just severely limited due being just an extension.

Ahh yes an addon.. just answered in the Blender Mega Thread (and also just discovered that it is not as "easy" as in some other forum to copy links to other threads )

A little hint from the Introduction Sticky:

Want to link to a specific post? The time or date stamp right after each poster's name is a clickable link... copy/paste it into your own post.

In fact to find those info/docu you also have to know that you have to look at General Discussion -> Information About Polycount & New Member Introductions .. and not something "simpler" like Forum -> Help

Nice suggestion! I just added it in the menu bar, under MOAR.

here is me thinking other artists enable stuff like this without a second thought

it should maybe renamed 'freeze modifier stack' or 'not 3dsmax edit poly'

I suppose it useful in that you can do tests edits , then if you need to do some more work on the previous modifiers, then you can

just clean mesh data and try again
