Highlight mesh edges

In another software, it's possible to turn on mesh edges so that it's easy to spot where you have holes and vertices that are not merged, or welded. For me it's ON all the time because it's so useful. I'd love to have this in Blender, since I dropped the other software.

This tool does it and more. It's fantastic. Turn on the non-manifold option. gumroad.com/l/mesh_check_BGL_edition

Thanks for sharing. I can't believe Blender still hasn't added this as a basic overlay next to seams and creases.

Yes, would be great way to see any weird gaps in the surface. Especially for 3D printing.
