Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
bridgeOffset (bo) integer0outputinputconnectablestorable
Add offset to which vertices are connected.
curveType (ctp) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
Format: 0 - Linear, 1 - Blend, 2 - Curve
direction (d) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
Specifies how the direction should be calculated
divisions (dv) integer1outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The number of subdivisions in the bridging faces (resulting in (divisions+1) row of faces).
inputProfile (ipc) nurbsCurveNULLoutputinputconnectable
input profile curve
reverse (rev) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Reverse the offset and twist direction.
smoothingAngle (sma) angle (double)30.0degoutputinputconnectablestorable
Angle below which new edges will be smoothed
sourceDirection (sd) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
The direction on the source mesh related to the normal. 0 - along normal; 1 - opposite normal
startVert1 (sv1) integer-1outputinputconnectablestorable
The start vertex from the first set of edges
startVert2 (sv2) integer-1outputinputconnectablestorable
The start vertex from the second set of edges
taper (tp) double1.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Taper or Scale along the extrusion path
taperCurve (c) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Curve control for taper along extrusion Using this curve, the taper along extrusion can be changed from a simple linear scaling to custom scaling along the extrusion path.
taperCurve_Position (cp) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Position of ramp value on normalized 0-1 scale
taperCurve_FloatValue (cfv) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ramp value at the sibling position
taperCurve_Interp (ci) enum0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ramp Interpolation controls the way the intermediate values are calculated. The values are:
    None: No interpolation is done; the different colors just show up as different bands in the final texture.

    Linear: The values are interpolated linearly in RGB color space.

    Smooth: The values are interpolated along a bell curve, so that each color on the ramp dominates the region around it, then blends quickly to the next color.

    Spline: The values are interpolated with a spline curve, taking neighboring indices into account for greater smoothness.

targetDirection (td) enum0outputinputconnectablestorable
The direction on the target mesh related to the normal. 0 - along normal; 1 - opposite normal
twist (twt) angle (double)0.0degoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Twist or Rotation along the extrusion path
