pymel.core.modeling.nurbsPlane¶

nurbsPlane(*args, **kwargs)¶

The nurbsPlane command creates a new NURBS Plane and return the name of the new surface. It creates an unit plane with center at origin by default.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
axis / ax		float, float, float
	The primitive’s axis
caching / cch		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off.
degree / d		int
	The degree of the resulting surface 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - heptic Default:3
frozen / fzn		bool
lengthRatio / lr		float
	The ratio of lengthto widthof the plane. Default:1.0
name / n		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
object / o		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node.
patchesU / u		int
	The number of spans in the U direction. Default:1
patchesV / v		int
	The number of spans in the V direction. Default:1
pivot / p		float, float, float
	The primitive’s pivot point
polygon / po		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)Advanced flags
width / w		float
	The width of the plane Default:1.0 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nurbsPlane

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create default plane
pm.nurbsPlane()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #

# Create a degree 3 plane with 4 spans in each direction
pm.nurbsPlane( d=3, u=4, v=4 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane2'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane2')] #

# Create plane that is twice as long as it is wide
pm.nurbsPlane( w=3, lr=2 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane3'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane3')] #
