Use the polygon bridge tool in Maya

Use the polygon bridge tool in Maya

This Maya 3D software lesson demonstrates the bridge tool and shows some if its uses. The bridge tool is a polygonal modeling tool that allows you to connect surfaces, like a bridge. The bridge tool works with edges of existing pieces of polygonal geometry and creates a surface to attach them accordingly. See how to use the bridge tool when modeling in Maya in this tutorial.

When the divisions are set to 0 to create a flat plane, the video says that the edges need to be merged. Could someone please explain to me how this is done. I am struggling because the two edges are in the same place so selecting them both consecutively using the merge edge tool is not possible.

Thank you in advance.
