How to bridge between SubD entities using edges
- [Instructor] There are times during your design process where you have to bridge between two entities. Now the Subdivision Bridge Command can only be used with subdivision entities. You cannot use this command with Bezier or Nurb surfaces. It's not a hybrid command. Okay, so let's take a look at what we have. I'm going to press S for hardware shade or you can go up to window display, Hardware Shades. I've got a hot key setup, which is S or you can go into Object Display, Diagnostic Shading and you can pick any one of these shaders to work with. I'm going to go back to S and lets zoom in on these red entities at the very beginning. So subdivision open up the Bridge Command. It's a very, very simple dialog box. The only option we have is to pick faces or edges and change the divisions. So I can pick this top edge and I can pick this lower edge. And you'll notice the top edge has two edges and the low range has four. So it…
