column is a string of polygons extending along the
length of the bridge.
Reverse Tr iangulation—When bridging two
edge selections each of which con tains different
numbers of edges, two ways of triangulating the
bridge polygons are possible. This check box lets
you toggle between them.
Left: R everse Triangulation on
Right: Reverse Triangulation off
Bridge Adjacent—Specifies the minimum angle
between adjacent edges across which bridg ing
can o ccur. Edges less than this angle w i l l not be
bridged, and instead will be skipped.
Top Left: Edge selections before bridging
Top Right: S egments=2, Bridge Adjacent<83.0
Bottom Left: Bridge Adjacent=83.0
Bottom Right: Bridge Adjacent=126.5
Note: The above illustration shows, among other
things, how setting Bridge Adjacent too high can
cause overlapping polygons (left side of the two
bottom images), which is undesirable.
Apply—Applies the settings to the current
selection, retaining them if you then make another
selection.
OK —Applies the settings to the current selection
and closes the dialog.
Cance l—Closes the dialog without applying the
