# InsertEdge
## 
InsertEdge
The InsertEdge command inserts edges beside an edge loop (left) or across an edge ring (right) on a SubD or mesh.
***
When edges fail to insert, the defective geometry is marked with a text dot. The [secondary text](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/dot.htm#Secondary_text) in the text dot properties gives a hint of what should be repaired.

### Command-line options
#### **Type**
* **Loop**
Insert edges beside the selected edge loop.
**BothSides -** Insert edges on both sides of the selected edge loop.
* **Ring**
Insert edges across the selected edge ring.
#### **Mode**
* **Full**
Select an entire edge loop (left) or ring (right) based on the Type option to insert edges.
* **Range**
Select the start and end edges in a range of loop (left) or ring (right) based on the Type option to insert edges.
#### **OffsetMode**
* **Proportional**
The amount is proportional to each crossing edge length. The input number should be between 0 and 1.0.
* **Absolute**
The amount is same for all edges. The input number is a distance in the model unit.
