Toggle all edges smaller than a threshold

How can I (un-)toggle all geometry edges that are shorter than some user-defined value?

I have a complex geometry with many unnecessary edges that infere with the meshing process.

    Hello Mike, 

    What is the user-defined value that you need to define ? Is it the length of the line. Can you please share the image of the topology of the component you are trying to mesh. Also what kind of meshing are you trying to accomplish : 3d or 2d ?

    Hi Rishabh,

    the user should be able to define the length of the edge. For instance, all meaningful edges in my model are at least 2mm in length. So the user should be able to toggle all edges <2mm.

    I believe this is a very general feature that would be useful in many cases. In my particular application, I work on the surface of a closed solid: first I mesh the surface, then the volume.

    Does such a feature exist?
