A Segment is a generic concept used to describe a PolygonMesh object's Edge. Having a generic term for this concept allows the user to write code to traverse an objects geometry in a generic fashion without resorting to special case handling based on a specific geometry type.

Tip: To work with the Edge, you can use the Segment.SubComponent property which returns a SubComponent object. The SubComponent allows you to access the EdgeCollection via the SubComponent.ComponentCollection property.
