Basically, a triangle is ‘webbed’ between two edges that share the same vertex at one end (see attached picture).
I`ve also attached a Maxscript that demonstrates this is action (see below).
To use, select two open edges that are connected, with the same vertex at one end, and then run this Maxscript tool.
Copy and paste the below code to a new .mcr;
macroScript MACRO_BridgeCorner
category:"Oakley Tools"
internalcategory:"Oakley Tools"
tooltip:"Bridge Corner"
buttontext:"Bridge Corner"
(
on Execute do
(
try
(
Edgs=(polyop.GetEdgeSelection $) as array
if Edgs.count==2 do
(
EdgA=PolyOp.getEdgeVerts $ Edgs[1]
EdgB=PolyOp.getEdgeVerts $ Edgs[2]
if EdgA[2]==EdgB[1] do
(
$.CreateFace #(EdgA[1], EdgA[2], EdgB[2])
)
if EdgB[2]==EdgA[1] do
(
$.CreateFace #(EdgB[1], EdgB[2], EdgA[2])
)
)--if Edgs.count...
)
catch()
)--on Execute do
)
It would be cool to see this properly implemented into 3dsmax under the bridge tool. Possibly an edge corner angle threshold under the bridge tool’s parameters.
