bridge edges ?

Post by Manticor » 09 Oct 2011, 07:08

Hi

Ive noticed that the bridge edges only works most of the time with just 2 edges selected but not with multiple edges like in 3ds max .But the functionality is there when merging meshes using the blend option.Is there any way to get this to work on single meshes? or any script that does this?

Thanks

It works with multiple edges selected, but the default distance setting in the bridge ppg is quite low. Once you increase it, more edges should get conntected.

Then again there's the issue that closest edges always get connected first which often creates a mess when the selected edges on either side are adjacent.

Also try the grow option in the ppg.

Haha. yeah it works.

Ive been using a hotkey for the bridge edges command which doesn't bring up the ppg.Now Ive hooked it up with the ppg I can see the distance slider.
Thanks for the help,its just made my modeling a bit quicker.
