The following SingleModel derived class computes the Solid or Mesh edge closest to the mouse position and draws it on screen with a different color to highlight it. It iterates through the Edges of the Portions of each Solid and through the edges of each Mesh in the scene computing the one closest to the mouse. If the distance is within 10 pixels, it draws it on top o…
