Synopsis

nurbsSquare [-caching boolean] [-center linear linear linear] [-centerX linear] [-centerY linear] [-centerZ linear] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-degree int] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-normal linear linear linear] [-normalX linear] [-normalY linear] [-normalZ linear] [-object boolean] [-sideLength1 linear] [-sideLength2 linear] [-spansPerSide int]

nurbsSquare is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

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

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-center(-c)	linear linear linear
The center point of the square.
-centerX(-cx)	linear
X of the center point. Default: 0
-centerY(-cy)	linear
Y of the center point. Default: 0
-centerZ(-cz)	linear
Z of the center point. Default: 0
-degree(-d)	int
The degree of the resulting circle: 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - heptic Default: 3
-normal(-nr)	linear linear linear
The normal of the plane in which the square will lie.
-normalX(-nrx)	linear
X of the normal direction. Default: 0
-normalY(-nry)	linear
Y of the normal direction. Default: 0
-normalZ(-nrz)	linear
Z of the normal direction. Default: 1
-sideLength1(-sl1)	linear
The length of a side on the square. Default: 1.0
-sideLength2(-sl2)	linear
The length of an adjacent side on the square. Default: 1.0
-spansPerSide(-sps)	int
The number of spans per side determines the resolution of the square. Default: 1
Common flags
-constructionHistory(-ch)	boolean
Turn the construction history on or off.
-name(-n)	string
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 the result, or just the dependency node.
Advanced flags
-caching(-cch)	boolean
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note: For advanced users only.
-nodeState(-nds)	int
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note: For advanced users only.

MEL examples

// create degree 1 square with side length 2, center (0,0,0) on the
// x-y plane
nurbsSquare -nr 0 0 1 -d 1 -c 0 0 0 -sl1 2 -sl2 2 ;

// create degree 2 rectangle with length 2,4 at origin on the x-y plane
nurbsSquare -d 2 -nr 0 0 1 -c 0 0 0 -sl1 2 -sl2 4 ;

// create square of degree 3,side lengths 3, 4 spans per side
nurbsSquare -nr 0 0 1 -c 0 0 0 -d 3 -sl1 3 -sl2 3 -sps 4;
