*EDITED* Please ignore this post and go directly to puzzledpaul's reply. He got a really easy and elegant (and fast) way to do this. I will now kill myself or something like that! :(
Hi all!
Recently while modelling a house, I got stuck with a problem similar to the one in the Create Edge/Face... (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61699) thread.
After a lot of banguing my head against the wall :banghead: I finally came up with a solution. :bounce:
This is what I am posting here.
I hope it can be of some help to others.
You can see the initial problem in (1).
Select the faces to "bridge" (2)
Extrude them with Extrude Region along the normal (3), just a little bit, to avoid the gap from closing completelly or having "crossed" faces until you got something like what you can see in (4).
Select the two edges shown in (5) and DELete them. (6)
This is very important! You have to delete this edges first or the result will be a mess. If you try to delete the verts shown in (7) first or the edge that connects them it won't work.
Next select the verts in (7) and DELete them to get what you can see in (8).
Now all you have to do is select the verts shown in (9) and DELete them to get the wanted result (10)

And that's it! :cool:
