Attributes (6)

degree, form, inputComponents, inputMat, inputPolymesh, outputcurve

Long name (short name) Type Default Flags

degree (dg) enum 3

The degree of the resulting curve. 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - heptic

form (f) enum 2

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) matrix identity

Input world transformation matrix. Also a multi-attribute. Each input poly object must have a corresponding inputMat.

inputPolymesh (ipm) mesh NULL

The input surface

inputComponents (ics) componentList NULL

Input components that this node is to work on.

outputcurve (oc) nurbsCurve NULL

The output curve
