It's hard to say for sure what your problem is without seeing your script (also, you say you followed the steps in the manual, which show how to write a Python script, but then you talk about a TOP script).
TOP scripts are deprecated, so one solution to your problem is to write a Python script instead, as in the manual. If you really want to use TOP scripts, you may be running into a bug with INITIAL_MALIGN3D - which can be fixed by applying the patch at http://salilab.org/modeller/wiki/Patches - or you are setting OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT to something other than "NO_REPORT" or "REPORT". Otherwise, I'd have to see your script.

Sure, if you want the bridge to be preserved.
