what is the best way to fill a tiny gap I have when trying to join to pipes?

[itchytoes]

Hi --

I have two pipes I want to join but I can quite line  them up angularly so that they meet without a gap. 

What is the best way to fill that gap up?

My pipes are small at 1.5mm diameter

Thanks

I answered my own question half-way.

I managed to go into patch mode and created a patch but it is an open body and I cannot seem to be able to join it with the two pipes I'm trying to patch up.

Can you post a screenshot of the problem?  

I used a combination of solid, shelled, and intersected objects to create the following:

Hi --

thanks for the reply.

I posted a screen shot that shows the join where the two pipes meet.  

The little wedge piece is the open body that I created using patch mode to fill the gap,  but it is an open body and I cannot

combine it with the main pipe body.

I cannot figure out how to solidify it and combine it.

Thanks

I would suggest trying to use Loft to fill this gap.  You should just be able to select the two faces of the "gap" and loft between them.

Here's a screencast of a simple example:

Okay, thanks!  that worked!  woo-hoo.

I think I tried loft earlier but I wasn't sure what to loft to what 😉
