pymel.core.modeling.polyMirrorFace¶

polyMirrorFace(*args, **kwargs)¶

Mirror all the faces of the selected object.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
axis / a		int
axisDirection / ad		int
caching / cch		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object. Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
cutMesh / cm		bool
direction / d		int
	This flag specifies the mirror direction. C: Default is 0
firstNewFace / fnf		int
flipUVs / fuv		int
frozen / fzn		bool
lastNewFace / lnf		int
mergeMode / mm		int
	This flag specifies the behaviour of the mirror with respect to the border edges. Valid values are 0-5, corresponding to +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z direction respectively. If the mode is 0, the border edges will not be merged (co-incident vertices will be present). If the mode is 1, the border vertices/edges will be merged If the mode is 2, the border edges will be extruded and connected. C: Default is 0
mergeThreshold / mt		float
	This flag specifies the tolerance value for merging borders. C: Default is 0.1
mergeThresholdType / mtt		int
	This flag specifies if the merge threshold is calculated automatically based on the average length of the border edges.
mirrorAxis / ma		int
	This flag specifies what method to use to define the mirror axis
mirrorPlaneCenter / pc		float, float, float
mirrorPlaneCenterX / pcx		float
mirrorPlaneCenterY / pcy		float
mirrorPlaneCenterZ / pcz		float
mirrorPosition / mps		float
	This flag specifies the position of the custom mirror axis plane
name / n		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState / nds		int
	Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
pivot / p		float, float, float
	This flag specifies the pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotX / px		float
	This flag specifies the X pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotY / py		float
	This flag specifies the Y pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotZ / pz		float
	This flag specifies the Z pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
scalePivotX / spx		float
scalePivotY / spy		float
scalePivotZ / spz		float
smoothingAngle / sa		float
userSpecifiedPivot / pu		bool
worldSpace / ws		bool
	This flag specifies which reference to use. If on: all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If off: all geometrical values are taken in object reference. C: Default is off. Q: When queried, this flag returns an int. Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyMirrorFace

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Mirror about +X direction by merging the border vertices
pm.polyCube( name='poly1' )
pm.delete( 'poly1.f[4]' )
pm.polyMirrorFace( 'poly1', direction=0, mergeMode=1 )

# Mirror about +Y direction by connecting the border edges
# in world reference, by explicitly specifying a pivot point (0, 2, 0)
pm.polyCube( name='poly2' )
pm.delete( 'poly2.f[4]' )
pm.rotate( 0, 0, 45, 'poly2', r=True, os=True )
pm.polyMirrorFace( 'poly2', direction=2, p=(0, 2, 0), mergeMode=2, worldSpace=1 )
