Basic Usage

  1. Select two Edges you want to bridge.
  2. Use the Bridge command in the Command Palette
  3. Set the options in the Command Dialog and Keyboard Shortcuts.
    • Command Dialog
      • Side:

      • Side 2: Specify which side of the endpoint of the subsequently selected Edge to bridge to.
      • Tension 1:
        • Value 1/2: The tension value affected 1st Control-Vertex(CV) to 3rd CV of the starting point/ending point.
      • Tension 2:
        • Value 1/2: The tension value affected 2nd CV and 3rd CV of the starting point/ending point.
      • Tension 3:
        • Value 1/2: The tension value affected 3rd CV of the starting point/ending point.
      • Start curvature:
      • End curvature:
      • Show curvature: Toggles the curvature visualization on the curve. Learn more in Toggle Curvature.
    • Keyboard Shortcuts
      • Tab Cycle continuity: Toggle between G0, G1, G2, and G3 continuity.
      • D G1 Tension: Adjust the tension for G1 continuity.
  4. Confirm with OK in the Command Dialog or right-click.
