MEL examples

// Create a plane.
polyPlane -n plg -sx 10 -sy 10 -h 20 -w 20;

// Collapse one edge,
polyCollapseEdge plg.e[200];

// Or multiple edges:
select plg.e[74] plg.e[92] plg.e[94:95];
// Command works on selection list if
// no command line arguments are given.
polyCollapseEdge;

// Note that the command works on one edge at a time, so the
// resulting vertex from a selection of multiple edges will
// not typically be in the center of the selection.
