polyWedgeFace [-axis float float float] [-caching boolean] [-center float float float] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-divisions int] [-edge int] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-wedgeAngle angle] [-worldSpace boolean]

polyWedgeFace 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
-axis(-ax)	float float float
This flag (along with -center) can be used instead of the -edge flag to specify the axis about which the wedge is performed. The flag expects three coordinates that form a vector about which the rotation is performed.
-center(-cen)	float float float
This flag (along with -axis) can be used instead of the -edge flag to specify the location about which the wedge is performed. The flag expects three coordinates that define the center of rotation.
-divisions(-d)	int
This flag specifies the number of subdivisions along the extrusion.
-edge(-ed)	int
This flag specifies the edgeId that should be used to perform the wedge about. Multiple edges can be specified. The wedge operation is performed about an axis that is the average of all the edges. It is recommended that only colinear edges are used, otherwise the result may not look intuitive. Instead of specifying the -edge flag, the wedge can be performed about a point and axis. See the -center and -axis flags for details.
-wedgeAngle(-wa)	angle
This flag specifies the angle of rotation.
-worldSpace(-ws)	boolean
This flag specifies which reference to use. If "on" : all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If "off" : all geometrical values are taken in object reference. C: Default is off. Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
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
