Maya: Connect edges without bridge tool?

AGarton

Hey everyone, I was wondering whether there was a tool for Maya that lets you select a line of verts and have them snap to the first vertices they encounter along an axis. I'm looking for a quick alternative to the bridge tool since it's creating smoothing and normal issues.

For example, if I wanted to join the two lines of verts below without using the bridge tool, is there a faster way to do it than snapping every individual vert to its counterpart?

Thanks!

Select both columns, scale with J pressed on one axis and weld them? You could still use bridge and then merge border edges to get rid of one issue.
