polyProjectCurve [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int]
curve poly
polyProjectCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The polyProjectCurve command creates curves by projecting a selected
curve onto a selected poly mesh. The direction of projection will be
the current view direction unless the direction vector is specified
with the -direction/-d flag.
| string[] | Object name and node name |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
| 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
