General Discussion / Re: Twisting when using bridge tool

« Last post by kevjon on March 22, 2026, 09:49:59 am »

Ok I am totally lost here so I use the bridge tool with faces then bridge tool with the edge to twist it?

Looks like a bug to me in the scenario you tried.

I tried to create 2 holes then the bridge cap tool but nothing so I am doing it wrong.

If you're trying to cap each hole individually then:
Highlight one edge of the hole (without selecting it) > hold D key down > RMB click the highlighted edge > release D key to cap the hole.

Can you provide more information about what your trying to do? Couldn't get it from just words.
Have you watched this bridge video? https://youtu.be/M-M0QEkQJLg

Thank you - I guess I didn't watch the videos in sequence. It shows the process in a previous video.

Select a command in tool search > right mouse button click on it > add to hot numbers or letters.

General Discussion / Some of my works

I thought it might be of interest to other users to occasionally post some of my works as I complete them in NVil (or reach a significant WIP stage)

Here is the first where I have completed the modelling in NVil of a 1930's aircraft, the LeO H-43 seaplane with observation area.
DrawMesh retopology was used a lot in the modelling to create the subtle ribbing effects.
I could have reproduced these effects with bump mapping but modelling them always looks better.

The rect-select bug has nothing to do with the GUI.

In the latest version, the GUI scaling algorithm has been changed because the previous algorithm was not intuitive. Your current scaling values are not correct as I can see you are having a messy GUI. Go to Edit > Preference > GUI Scale and reset any scaling if needed. The Overall scale maybe just leave it as is. The other scale value should be ok at value of 1 or some thing around 1.

You are right. Restored all my settings including GUI and collapse-expand bug has dissapeared. Had no idea messy GUI can cause this issue. Now all seems fine. Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it!

Try this

Looks like Rect-Selection bug is fixed but I noticed collapsing and expanding application which can cause some button pressing problems showed in the video

I thought about it a while, maybe we should give up on it? Seems like the problem is in my Nvil only but fixing it causes some more problems which haven`t been existed previously. And they may appear in other users nvils as well
