Hi!

I've got 2 nearly identical curves (one is a copy of the other). The only difference is a slight position change but the point numbers are identical. When I use polyBridge I end up with lines that converge on the sides. Is there a way to force a perfect quads-only pattern?

Ok, I think I found the solution. in the PolyBridge sop, under the Bridge tab, there's an Explicit Pairs section all the way at the bottom. All I need to do is pair the first point of each curve. So if my first curve has 66 points, the pairing will be 0 and 66 (first point of each curves). That seams to fix all my problems no matter what curves I bridge together!
