***********************************
Diagonal inversion of two triangles
***********************************
In MESH you can inverse the diagonal (edge) of a pseudo-quadrangle
formed by two neighboring triangles with one common edge.
*To inverse the diagonal:*
#. From the **Modification** menu choose the **Diagonal inversion** item or click *"Diagonal Inversion"* |img| button in the toolbar.

The following dialog box shall appear:

:align: center
#. Enter IDs of nodes forming the required edge in the **Edge** field (the node IDs must be separated by dashes) or select this edge in the 3D viewer.
#. Click the **Apply** or **Apply and Close** button.
