Tutorial to explain how to connect individual vertices on two different patches or meshes

Patch/Mesh Vertex Connecting

Some have asked for a simple tutorial to explain how to connect individual vertices on two different patches or meshes. This tutorial does not explain how to make meshes or patches.

So you have two patches that you want individual vertices to "attach" to one another (This will work with meshes also).


First highlight the two patches and hit "V". This will display the vertices on your patch and allow you to edit them.

Note: The order in which you highlight the patches will determine which vertex moves and which one will remain where its at. For example with the patches we have in this tutorial if I want the vertices from the left patch to move to the right I need to highlight the right patch first. So highlight the patch in which you want the vertices to remain in there current position, first.


Now lets start at the top and hold down "control" and select the two vertices that are circled. Then with both of them selected hit "control + K" and they should "attach" to one another.


Finally, finish attaching the vertices that you choose to and you will have connecting patches.

These patches are not one now. If you choose to move them apart you can.
