Synopsis

polyFlipUV [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-createNewMap boolean] [-flipType int] [-insertBeforeDeformers boolean] [-local boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-uvSetName string]

polyFlipUV 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
-createNewMap(-cm)	boolean
Create a new UV set, as opposed to editing the current one, or the one given by the uvSetName flag.
-flipType(-ft)	int
Flip along U or V direction. 0 Horizontal 1 Vertical C: Default is 0. Q: When queried returns an int.
-insertBeforeDeformers(-ibd)	boolean
This flag specifies if the polyFlipUV node should be inserted before or after deformer nodes already applied to the shape. Inserting the node after the deformer leads to texture swimming during animation and is most often undesirable. C: Default is on.
-local(-l)	boolean
Flips in the local space of the input faces. C: Default is on. Q: When queried returns an int.
-uvSetName(-uvs)	string
Specifies the name of the UV set to edit uvs on. If not specified will use the current UV set if it exists. When createNewMap is on, the name is used to generate a new unique UV set name.
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
