Connect to nearest

Connects the selected face(s) or edges of planar surfaces to the nearest regions, planar surfaces or face(s) of other solid(s).

Select the faces or edges of planar surfaces.

Right-click or press Enter to create the connections.
Disconnect

This option applies to solid faces only. The face is disconnected and made perpendicular to the adjacent faces, which results in a single edge or vertex connection.
