Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
absoluteWeight (ab) boolfalseoutputinputconnectable
The split can either be relative or absolute. If this attribute is false then the weight attribute will be used on all edges in the sequence as the percentage along the edge to do the split. If this attribute is true then the weight attribute is used with the length of the shortest edge in the sequence to determine the distance that the split should occur on all other edges in the sequence.
adjustEdgeFlow (aef) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The weight value of the edge vertices to be positioned.
direction (dr) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
This attribute is used when doing an absolute split. If true then the distance is taken from the start vertex of the root edge. If false the distance is taken from the end vertext of the root edge.
divisions (div) integer2outputinputconnectablestorable
Number of divisions.
enableProfileCurve (epc) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
Enables the use of the profile curve.
fixQuads (fq) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Fixes splits which go across a quad face leaving a 5 and 3 sided faces by splitting from the middle of the new edge to the vertex accross from the edge on the 5 sided face.
insertWithEdgeFlow (ief) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
True to enable edge flow. Otherwise, the edge flow is disabled.
profileCurve (p) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Curve which can control the profile of the new edges when doing a multisplit.
profileCurve_Position (pp) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Position of ramp value on normalized 0-1 scale
profileCurve_FloatValue (pfv) float0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ramp value at the sibling position
profileCurve_Interp (pi) 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.

profileCurveInputOffset (pio) float0.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Changes the offset to the multisplit profile curve. eg. if the profile curve values go between 0 and 1 and this value is set to -1 then the profile curves values will be adjusted to go between -1 and 0.
profileCurveInputScale (pis) float1.0foutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Changes the range of values that the profile curve represents. eg. if the profile curve values go between 0 and 1 and this value is set to 2 then the profile curves values will be adjusted to go between 0 and 2.
rootEdge (re) integer-1outputinputconnectablestorable
The weight attribute uses the start vertex of this edge to determine where the new split occurs.
smoothingAngle (sma) angle (double)180.0degoutputinputconnectablestorable
Angle below which new edges will be smoothed
splitType (stp) enum1outputinputconnectablestorable
Format: 0 - Absolute, 1 - Relative, 2 - Multi
useEqualMultiplier (uem) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
Changes how the profile curve effects the offset when doing a multisplit. If true then the verts will be offset the same distance based on the shortest edge being split. If false then each inserted edge loop will be offset a distance relative to the length of the edge that is being split.
useFaceNormalsAtEnds (fne) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
When doing a multisplit on a set of non-closed edge ring this will toggle the normals at the ends of the split to be calculated as the edge normal or the face normal.
weight (wt) float0.5outputinputconnectablestorable
Weight value controlling the relative positioning of the new points on existing edges. Range is [0.0, 1.0]. Value of 0.1 indicates the new edges will be placed closer to the start vertex of the first edge of the sequence of edges.
