          Closing off a Triangle Fan Cylinder with Quads by deleting every other Row of Vertices
          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

            your last frame only lasts 200ms so we can not see the result before the GIF anim starts again.
