I'm wondering how one would make a cylinder in W3D that has a bottom face, but no top face. Basically to be like a cup. I've tried bridging the top and bottom faces, but that gets rid of them completely. Any help is greatly appreciated. (Oh and extruding the top face into the cylinder kinda creates extra polys, so im looking for an alternative)

That will leave me with one face... and thats not what I want. And deleting the top one just makes a new one in its place. Oh well, I figured it out.

Another way is to select the top and bottom faces and use the bridge command, but the intrude is better when you can do it.

Bridge would leave it with no bottom face.
