    I have a multi body part that requires two bodies to be joined (morphed)
    in a controllable way. The SWorks 2007 help screen only shows Bridging
    in the multi body section as a "commonly used technique in a multi body
    environment", but doesn't give any how to's. Is this just another way
    of describing a loft? Maybe a tool button that I don't have turned on?

    Bridging is just a technique, not a tool. You can use any solid
    feature that creates the geometry you're looking for, such as a loft or
    an extrude. Just make sure the Merge Result option is turned on and the
    new feature actually touches both bodies.

    Thanks Matt, that was what I suspected, but thought it was worth asking.
