Exist way to make edge group with green edges and ignore red edges?

Try using a polyframe SOP to change normals (eg. setting ‘tangent’ to ‘N’) before creating an edge group based on normals. In the end reset the normals with a normal SOP.

I do this with attribute wrangle
code:

int points = neighbours(0,@ptnum);
int num;
float dotp;
vector pos;
vector angle;
foreach(num; points){
pos = point(0,“P”,num);
angle = pos - @P;
dotp = dot(@N,angle);

if(dotp > -0){
@group_ExcludeGroup = 1;
}
}

Or you can do it with SOP only by measuring curvature withe the measure SOP to get the concave edge then invert the group …it's not 100% sure but no coding…

I have created another one variant for concave/convex edges. I used VOP and Python nodes. I attached some screenshots and my HIP file.
