polyCollapseEdge [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int]
polyCollapseEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Turns each selected edge into a point.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

|
| Common flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
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.
|
|
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Give a name to the resulting node.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Defines how to evaluate the node.
- 0: Normal
- 1: PassThrough
- 2: Blocking
- 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled
- 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled
- 5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabled

// Create a plane.
polyPlane -n plg -sx 10 -sy 10 -h 20 -w 20;
// Collapse one edge,
polyCollapseEdge plg.e[200];
// Or multiple edges:
select plg.e[74] plg.e[92] plg.e[94:95];
// Command works on selection list if
// no command line arguments are given.
polyCollapseEdge;
// Note that the command works on one edge at a time, so the
// resulting vertex from a selection of multiple edges will
// not typically be in the center of the selection.
