I was curious about how to use the bridge tool? Thank you for any help.

Hi,

You just need to select two faces that don't have a shared edge and click "Bridge".
Here is an example

Thank you, That worked well. I did not realize you had to group the objects to be able to select the different faces!

How do you select 2 faces from 2 objects to bridge? I grouped them but was unable to select more than one face unless the faces are on the same object. Please assist. Thanks

Hello, Happy New Year! Don't group the two objects, instead, select the two objects, right-click and select the MERGE option... This makes them one object and you can select both faces! I hope this helps! Enjoy and Happy Modeling!!

Ok, thank you so much. I'm an Autodesk user; so Merge is like Combine. Awesome.
Due to distant learning I had to find a 3D program that will work on the chromebooks for my students. I was thrilled to find Clara.io. The verdict is still out on how it'll perform on the chromebook. Sometimes it gets a little 'sticky' with the selection and querty tools not showing up. But that's all we got right now.

Thanks again and happy new year.

Anytime. Yea, I teach my students Cinema 4D. This is close but as you said it's the best we have and it's online and free! Some of my students use Chromebooks and they are ok, the key is the internet connection. I found we have students who have less than ideal bandwidth! I actually use my Chromebook in school (when I am there) and it's not too bad. I am about to start teaching basic animation and I will be playing with this program to see how it does! Good Luck!

Yeah its as close as we can get to Maya. I tried Vectary 3D but it's a bit strange with the transformation controls. I have trouble rendering a turntable animation. Rendering single frame is ok but can't seem to do a turntable without paid account.

Yes it works. Thanks
