Synopsis

attachCurve [-blendBias float] [-blendKnotInsertion boolean] [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-keepMultipleKnots boolean] [-method int] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-object boolean] [-parameter float] [-replaceOriginal boolean] [-reverse1 boolean] [-reverse2 boolean] curve curve [curve...]

attachCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This attach command is used to attach curves. Once the curves are attached, there will be multiple knots at the joined point(s). These can be kept or removed if the user wishes.

If there are two curves, the end of the first curve is attached to the start of the second curve. If there are more than two curves, closest endpoints are joined.

Note: if the command is done with Keep Original off, the first curve is replaced by the attached curve. All other curves will remain, the command does not delete them.

Return value

string[]Object name and node name

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

blendBias, blendKnotInsertion, caching, constructionHistory, keepMultipleKnots, method, name, nodeState, object, parameter, replaceOriginal, reverse1, reverse2
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-blendBias(-bb) float createqueryedit
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending on the blend factory being smaller or larger than 0.5.
Default: 0.5
-blendKnotInsertion(-bki) boolean createqueryedit
If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves (relative position given by the parameter attribute below) in order to produce a slightly different effect.
Default: false
-keepMultipleKnots(-kmk) boolean createqueryedit
If true, keep multiple knots at the join parameter. Otherwise remove them.
Default: true
-method(-m) int createqueryedit
Attach method (connect-0, blend-1)
Default: 0
-parameter(-p) float createqueryedit
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.
Default: 0.1
-reverse1(-rv1) boolean createqueryedit
If true, reverse the first input curve before doing attach. Otherwise, do nothing to the first input curve before attaching. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.
Default: false
-reverse2(-rv2) boolean createqueryedit
If true, reverse the second input curve before doing attach. Otherwise, do nothing to the second input curve before attaching. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause unpredictable results and is not supported.
Default: false
Common flags
-constructionHistory(-ch) boolean create
Turn the construction history on or off.
-name(-n) string create
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.
-object(-o) boolean create
Create the result, or just the dependency node.
-replaceOriginal(-rpo) boolean create
Create "in place" (i.e., replace).
Advanced flags
-caching(-cch) boolean createqueryedit
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
-nodeState(-nds) int createqueryedit
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
