Draw Edge Between 2 Vertices

[greech82]

In the photo below, I cannot use "connect" to draw an edge between the bottom two vertices.

I can bridge them, but it forms other faces and edges I have to delete, and I can target weld them, but also not what I want to do. I just want to draw a single edge between the bottom vertices indicated in the photo.

Thank you!

it can not be done without target weld or bridge. edges exist only as the border of faces.

hi, 

You cannot connect two vertices. There is not such things in Maya.

But you can connect Edges instead with Edit Mesh->bridge

That explains why you can't delete a face and leave the border edges to that specific face or delete the border edges and leave just a face.
