I have two edge loops which I am trying to bridge.

enter image description here

The edge loops do not have an equal number of vertices. My assumption was that the Edge Loop Tool would just bridge to the nearest vertex.

Given that this doesn't appear to happen, would I be right in thinking that it cycles through the verts numerically and creates an edge each time? i.e select vert1a + vert1b then create edge,select vert2a + vert2b then create edge etc..

If so, is there a way around this either in the form of a smart bridge tool that will join to nearest corresponding vert on adjacent edge loop, or any other non-manual workaround?

  • $\begingroup$ In the uploaded file there is only one example of the issue (bottom left), which I can correct manually. Unfortunately I have hundreds of these kind of loop pairs to bridge, some of which have no issue, others can have 4-5 verts bridging to other verts elsewhere on the corresponding edge loop. $\endgroup$

An easy way to create face between the loops is to not treat the as edge loops.

  1. ⇧ ShiftRMB RMB select two opposing edges and delete the X > Edges.
  2. Select the opposite "end" vertices each and connect them with an edge F. You now have a single loop.
  3. Selec this loop ⎇ AltRMB RMB and fill it F with an n-gon.
  4. Triangulate the ngon with ⎈ CtrlT.
  5. Select the four vertices which we disconnected at step 1 and fill the face F.
