How to fill a hole cause by 'extrudge' or 'bridge' a polygon?

 How to fill  a hole cause by 'extrudge' or 'bridge' polygon?

Here's is the scenario :

The model is in 'Edit Poly', and I 'bridge' 2 polygon as shown below :



The 'bridge' is success. But it will create a hole in 2 polygon which is unwanted in this scenario. ( check image below )


So, how to fill the hole ?

Here's what I already try :
1. Select the hole using 'Select by border' ( my intention is using 'cap' feature ). But its turn out that hole cannot be selected using 'border' selection.
2. On 'Polygon selection', I select menu 'create', have 'snap to vertex' on, then select each of the vertices, then pop up dialog displaying 'Illegal new face'

So how to fill the hole?
Hope the solution may also work on a hole which cause by extrudge a polygon.

Thanks you,
Forgive my english

hi dear friend here is the render of box i made with results that you want...i model the box the added segments and delete the portion which is not required then i extrude the edges and join the vertex and remove the segment which is not required...thanks

Polygons in 3dsmax are one sided.  Even if they appear two sided, that's an illusion.  They are one sided.  You can prove this to yourself, go into object properties and activate "backface cull".  This shows you the reality of your polys.


So, in the illustration you included, the polygons are facing inward.  That's why bridge worked.  If your goal is to have an "outside" of the structure, you need to create that.  I'd suggest doing so before the bridge.  Many ways to accomplish this, but "shell" tool comes to mind first.  If before you use "bridge", you apply a "shell" modifier to your model I think you'll have what you want.  You'll tell it whether you want max to create a wall thickness by adding to the inside or outside or both.  If you shell AFTER you bridge, you'll get something entirely different!  See in the second pic how I have an extra edit poly modifier.  That's where I did the bridge.

Hi Jamaludinsanur3,

   I've tried creating ur model and to close the hole Try using the below option

Select the Left and right edges and bridge the edges by giving segments.

Hope it'll be useful for you

Thanks and regs,

Thank you for the info, but our model is different, my model have solid polygon in top and bottom of the hole. This hole is located on the side of the box, this hole that I want to fill/cap is cause by 'bridge'.

Thank you for the help, I understand the point, I can use 'shell' but it will create another skeleton of my model. Btw, many thanks for mention 'Polygons in 3dsmax are one sided' and 'go into object properties and activate "backface cull"'. This will save a life. Many thanks.

Hi, thank you, but the vertices & edges which created to fill the hole is not attached/merged to the edge of the hole. It can be seen by moving those vertices. But I can accept this solution since its able to fill the hole and Im not perfectionist. Thank you ^ ^

note for the future :
I read somewhere on untrusted site. Mention that edge in 3ds max can only have 2 polygon. So I think my scenario is not achievable. Not sure if its true.
