Synopsis

polyMergeEdgeCtx [-activeNodes] [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-immediate] [-mergeMode int] [-name string] [-previous] [-reset] [-toolNode]

polyMergeEdgeCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to merge edges on polygonal objects

Return value

None

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

Flags

activeNodes, exists, image1, image2, image3, immediate, mergeMode, name, previous, reset, toolNode
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-activeNodes(-anq) query
Return the active nodes in the tool
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-immediate(-im) edit
Acts on the object not the tool defaults
-mergeMode(-mm) int createqueryedit
The merge mode. (at first edge : 0, in between : 1, at last edge : 2)
Default is in between.
-name(-n) string create
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-previous(-pv) edit
Reset to previously stored values
-reset(-rs) edit
Reset to default values
