bridge between two forms

When I create a form (fuselage) finish form. then create another form (wing) and finish that one, how do I work with them both at the same time (create a bridge)?

If i go back in the timeline and edit one the other is grayed out.

In order to bridge them with T-Splines they will have to be separate bodies within the same form feature in the timeline. At least I don't know of another way.

 

As you have already created the forms separately. You could go into edit the second form > Copy everything > Finish Form > Edit previous form > Paste > Finish Form. Then delete the second Form instance form the timeline. Got back into the first, and proceed to bridge the two T-Spline bodies into one.

 

If the two solid bodies intersect in the Model Environment, you could do a Combine to make them into one solid body, but I don't think thats what you are going for..

 

So, bit of a hastle I, know.. I'd love to hear is there is a different way!

You are correct, @Anonymous, having the bodies in a single Form feature is currently the only way to bridge between them.  We realize that this workflow is not ideal, though, and are working on ways to make the Form workflow be less modal, and more freeform in nature.
