degree, form, inputComponents, inputMat, inputPolymesh, outputcurve

Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
degree (dg) enum3outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The degree of the resulting curve. 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - heptic
form (f) enum2outputinputconnectablestorable
Specifies whether this curve is to be periodic or not. Best guess will create a periodic curve if the edges form a closed loop and will create an open curve if not.
inputMat (im) matrixidentityoutputinputconnectablekeyable
Input world transformation matrix. Also a multi-attribute. Each input poly object must have a corresponding inputMat.
inputPolymesh (ipm) meshNULLoutputinputconnectable
The input surface
inputComponents (ics) componentListNULLoutputinputconnectablestorable
Input components that this node is to work on.
outputcurve (oc) nurbsCurveNULLoutputinputconnectable
The output curve
