Building bridges.

robmkeith · **Building bridges. -** 15.10.2006, 06:03

I am attempting to build a bridge between 2 raw polygons. I have read the manual but I cannot figure it out. It is my understanding that I must have both polygons selected at the same time. I can't, for the life of me, get them both selected at the same time.
I like the theories behind alot of these tools, I just have trouble getting them to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Thank you for your reply. I looked over that particular thread quite a few times and I am still fairly lost. I'm sorry, I really don't even know how to communicate intelligently about this software. I've spent quite a few years using Bryce and it is nothing like this.
Do you think you might have the time to walk me through setting up a simple bridge in a step by step manner?

Thank you for your time,

Robert

Thank you very, very much for your time and consideration, unfortunately it's seems that that little tutorial is my speed for right now.

It worked fine and I figured out what step I was missing. The whole merging and importing children was not makng "intuitive" sense to me. I was attempting to bridge them but also keep them independent of each other. I'm in the habbit of modeling for future animation. I am also self taught at everything I do (like most everyone else I'm guessing) and who knows if I actually do anything the most effective way.

Again, you have my sincerest thanks.

Robert.
