Found under the Edit N-panel, Vertex Overlap is a Blender add-on that alerts you to overlapping vertices in real-time and allows you to merge them with a single click.
Have you ever started, then canceled an extrusion? If you don't remember to immediately undo your last action, you will create overlapping vertices that aren't easy to spot until you start noticing weird rendering issues or you experience odd issues while editing your mesh.
Show Overlaps button will highlight vertex overlaps, so you can preview what will be merged. You must be in Vertex Selection Mode to see the highlighted overlaps.Overlap Threshold distance. If you only want to be alerted about overlapping vertices of a certain distance. The default is 0.0001m.Check Overlaps button at anytime while in Edit mode.Merge Vertices button that will merge overlapping vertices by the configured Overlap Threshold distance. This is equivalent to Selecting All and then Merging by Distance. Now in a convenient single click.Edit mode, the Overlapping Vertices count will reflect the number of overlapping vertices in both mesh objects combined. If you have two objects, each with 2 overlapping vertices, and select both then tab to Edit mode, Vertex Overlap will show 4 total overlapping vertices.Show Overlaps button so you can see which vertices are overlapping. Useful if you just want to see which vertices are overlapping without merging them. You must switch to Vertex Selection mode to see which vertices are overlapping.This extension does not require special permissions.
nice!
"Show Overlaps" without having to merge is incredibly useful, thanks!
