Edge Bridge Fill

Fill a quad face between two edges — instantly. Then keep going.

The Problem

You're modeling a hard-surface object and you need to fill a recessed area with a new face. With standard Blender tools, that means:

1. Extrude an edge inward with E
2. Manually merge vertices one by one
3. Clean up the resulting geometry

It works — but it breaks your flow every single time.

The Solution

Edge Bridge Fill reduces that whole process to a single shortcut.

Select two edges, press Ctrl+Shift+F, and the quad face is created immediately — no extrude, no merge, no cleanup.

How It Works

Select two L-shaped edges that meet at a corner.

Edge Bridge Fill automatically creates the missing corner vertex, fills the quad face, and selects the next edge pair — so you can keep filling with repeated shortcut presses.

Before — select A-S and S-B:

C
|
A
|
S -------- B

After — face filled, X-A and A-C auto-selected:

C
|
A -------- X
|          |
S -------- B

If A-C does not exist, only X-A is selected. If no next edges are found, the selection is cleared.

Features

• One shortcut — select two L-shaped edges and the face is created instantly
• Smart vertex creation — missing corner vertex is placed using the parallelogram rule for a perfectly aligned result
• Continuous fill — after each fill, the next L-shaped edge pair is auto-selected so you can chain fills with repeated shortcut presses
• Re-uses existing vertices — if the corner vertex already exists, it is detected and reused instead of duplicated
• Full Undo support — Ctrl+Z works as expected
• Mac friendly — both Ctrl+Shift+F and Cmd+Shift+F are registered
