An edge always connects two points by a straight line. They are used to construct triangles. Edges are represented in 3D viewport in triangle and point modes as thin lines.

F

frame
A representation of the mod's mass distribution of the car. See masses guide.

G

gouraud
One of the special view modes in the modeller. It is the default rendering of the model with gouraud shading applied, showing how the car should appear in game.
