Bridge

---

This tool allow us to create geometry between two selections. It works with faces and edges.

Both selection to create the bridge must have the same number of faces o edges.

Bridging faces

Bridging the same geometry with different bridge modes:

                             

Bridging edges

Bridging edges using linear mode:

                                     

Aligning bridges

When creating bridges, the geometry could appear twisted. To fix that, we have to follow those steps:

1. Click on the Align button.

2. Match the point and the direction in both sides of the bridge.

3. Click on a point to match between both sides.

4. Click again on the point to flip match direction.

                           

Interface

Parameters

› Bridge Mode

Sets the property of the bridge style. The drop-down list allow to choose between:

• Linear: match both selections with a straight curve.
• By Curve: allow to select a curve to be followed by the geometry.
• Tangential: the bridge follows the tangency between both selections.

› Curve

This button allow us to create the bridge following a curve. This option is only available if the bridge mode is set to "By Curve".

› Flip Curve

Flips the curve direction swapping the start and the end points.

› Segments

Sets the divisions along the bridge (when using By Curve or Tangential mode, the number of segments should be increased to fit better).

› Alignment

Sets the line up of both selections .

Command Validation

1. Click button to validate the command and apply the new geometry on the scene.

2. Click button to cancel the command, and refuse to apply geometry on the scene.

3. Click button to open the help information of the command, in case you need more detailed information about the tool being used.
