This is one thing that sometimes stumps me, but what is the best way of closing the gap here and keeping everything in Quads?

$\begingroup$ Cool. I didn't know that feature existed. That's solved it. :D $\endgroup$ – DustyShinigami Nov 28 '18 at 11:30

$\begingroup$ @DustyShinigami You'll find that Grid Fill doesn't like an odd number of edges, and doesn't tell you that's why it's not working.. just one to look out for... $\endgroup$ – Robin Betts Nov 29 '18 at 9:21

Another gold standard that works with even numbers of vertices is to
- Select the Edge Loop
- Extrude Edge Loop, stop Transform with Right Click
- Merge the extruded Vertices at Center
- Select every other Edge
- Dissolve Edges

3$\begingroup$ your last frame only lasts 200ms so we can not see the result before the GIF anim starts again. $\endgroup$ – rob Nov 28 '18 at 14:45

$\begingroup$ I am amazed how you knew it only lasted 200ms, but I will fix it of course. :D $\endgroup$ – Ben Nov 29 '18 at 7:57

$\begingroup$ As an aside, how do you make little gifs like that? $\endgroup$ – DustyShinigami Nov 29 '18 at 10:18

$\begingroup$ You need some kind of screen-capture software. I use Techsmith SnagIt - think of it as Camtasia's uncomplicated little brother - to record what you are doing. Then you cut out the fluff and export the video as a GIF sequence. That usually takes some fiddling with compression due to the size constraints. $\endgroup$ – Ben Nov 30 '18 at 7:22
