I have a ring of vertices, and I would like to connect them with another edge together quickly. enter image description here I tried bridging 4 vertices together, but that took too long and made faces. Extruding with 'E' would also take too long. I couldn't find any way to do it before, but here is an example of what I would like to do: https://youtu.be/ENmN5PVMcQQ?t=1m41s How do I do this? I tried the bridge loop method, but it does all of the vertices at once, and it creates triangles, which I do not want either.

    use Bridge Edge Loops –  Oct 20 '17 at 18:11
  • Is that what he uses in that part of the tutorial? I get an error saying to select at least 4 vertices to bridge them, and it creates a face as well, where I don't want faces. – RATIU5 Oct 20 '17 at 18:16
  • I tried that, but it creates triangles. – RATIU5 Oct 20 '17 at 18:23
  • If Bridge creates triangles then there isn't the same number of vertices in those 2 rings of edges. There isn't any other quick solution like Bridge if you want to connect 2 edge loops with different vertex count without any triangles – Mr Zak Oct 20 '17 at 18:27
  • Can you figure out what he is using int he video? I've tried everything I could think of. Is there an addon that does this? – RATIU5 Oct 20 '17 at 18:28
  • I have no idea what exactly are you talking about. If there is a face connecting 2 edge loops you can use Pick Shortest Path with Ctrl+Right Click on vertices to select all the vertices between one selected first and selected last. Other than that specify concretely which moment of video is unclear – Mr Zak Oct 20 '17 at 18:35
  • Immediately in the video, he begins to extrude one by one the vertices that automatically connect to the top one. – RATIU5 Oct 20 '17 at 18:39
  • In the tutorial he is using the F2 addon. – David Oct 20 '17 at 23:27

If you want to do this automatically, you can use Bridge Edge Loops by selecting the rings, pressing Spacebar and typing "Bridge Edge Loops":

enter image description here

If you prefer a semi-automatic way, make sure you have F2 addon enabled in User Preferences Ctr+Alt+U > Addons. Then select 2 vertices using F and continue filling the loop by moving your cursor in the direction you want to create faces and pressing the F (can be pressed repeatedly):
