Bridge Tool

#1

Is there any bridge tool in modo ???

I didn’t find it :eek:

#2

Not in this current version. :frowning:

#3

And yet It’s an essential tool I don’t understand why it is not implemented

Do you believe it will be in future version ??

#4

I’m sure it will be in a future version. Or somebody will write a script or plugin once the SDK is released. I would assume it’s not implemented b/c this is Modo 1.0 - oftentimes things get overlooked in a 1.0 release. There will be a slew of new tools before too long.

Thank you very much but it seems it doesn’t work not as well as LW Bridge :sad:

The tool makes some bad polys with rotation between the 2 selected polygons in the most cases :shrug:

#7

brutal,

thanks so much for your script!

any chance of programming in the ability to bridge 2 polys that don’t have the same vertex count?

mbaldwin > Have you good result with the script ???

#9

Could you describe bugs you found in script ?

#10

Actually i tried the script on modo / mac and it wont work. Copied and pasted in bbedit.

Any advice?

Could you describe bugs you found in script ?

Brutal --> Just see the picture

just create 2 circles (with same number of edges) with the sphere primitive and do a bridge.
I have tried also to flip the polys in differents positions --> it’s worst :sad:

Conf :
Bi-XEON 3Ghz - 2 Go Ram
QUADRO 980 XGL

Same thing with 2 cubes

#13

With 2 tubes it works well in that configuration

#14

The tool works for me if I do the following: -

a) Create a box. Create another box.

b) Select one poly face from box 1.

c) Select one poly face from box 2.

d) Run @“bridge.pl”.

I have found out that it doesnt work if you are using any other layer other than layer 1.

Cheers.

#15

I do exactly this in one layer and I have these result see above

#16

W00t, thank you for your hard work on his script brutal.

Yes, seems that the script likes selected geometry centered with one another.
I also get the points not matching up with the 2nd selected poly’s if poly arent centerred. (the Twisted look)

#17

I am totally agree with NANDO It seems to be the pb

#18

Do you have Symmetry on?

Edit: Yes, I can recreate your fault if the objects are not centered.

Cheers.
