# Bridge the Prongs

### Mirror Command

To begin creating our bridge, we need to create the remaining prongs.

To do this, we will hide the **first prong** we created. Select it and type **Hide** in the command bar. Press enter.

Now, in the **Transform** tab (1), select the **Mirror** command (2).

Then, select the prong located on the far left from the **Top** view and choose **XAxis** from the command prompt options.

Choose the **10 bottom faces** of one prong and its corresponding innermost faces.

> If we select faces we don't want by holding **Ctrl** and **clicking** on them, we can **deselect** them.

As we can see, with **Record History** enabled, it doesn't replicate on the other side.

### Adjust the bridge

Use **Ctrl + Shift** to select the top central point and adjacent edges.

Lower the selection slightly for a smooth curve.

Fine-tune by raising the central point for a softer arc.
