Patches Help
Shortcut: {{ site.data.keymaps.patches_tool }}
The Patches tool helps fill in holes in your topology. Select the strip of boundary edges that you wish to fill.

Notes
The Patches tool currently only handles a limited number of selected regions. More support coming soon!
- 2 connected strips in an L-shape
- 2 parallel strips: the two strips must contain the same number of edges
- 3 connected strips in a C-shape: first and last strips must contain the same number of edges
- 4 strips in a rectangular loop: opposite strips must contain the same number of edges
If no pre-visualized regions show after selection, no geometry will be created after pressing {{ site.data.keymaps.fill }}.
Adjust the Angle parameter to help Patches determine which connected edges should be in the same strip. Alternatively, you can manually toggle vertex corners using {{ site.data.keymaps.action_alt0 }}.
