attachCurve(
curve curve [curve...]
, [blendBias=float], [blendKnotInsertion=boolean], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [keepMultipleKnots=boolean], [method=int], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [parameter=float], [replaceOriginal=boolean], [reverse1=boolean], [reverse2=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
attachCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This attach command is used to attach curves. Once the curves are
attached, there will be multiple knots at the joined point(s). These
can be kept or removed if the user wishes.
If there are two curves, the end of the first curve is attached to the
start of the second curve. If there are more than two curves, closest
endpoints are joined.
Note: if the command is done with Keep Original off, the first curve
is replaced by the attached curve. All other curves will remain, the
command does not delete them.

Properties |
|
blendBias(bb)
|
float
|
  
|
|
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending
on the blend factory being smaller or larger than 0.5.
Default: 0.5
|
|
blendKnotInsertion(bki)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves
(relative position given by the parameter attribute below)
in order to produce a slightly different effect.
Default: false
|
|
keepMultipleKnots(kmk)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, keep multiple knots at the join parameter.
Otherwise remove them.
Default: true
|
|
method(m)
|
int
|
|
|
Attach method (connect-0, blend-1)
Default: 0
|
|
parameter(p)
|
float
|
|
|
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.
Default: 0.1
|
|
reverse1(rv1)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, reverse the first input curve before doing attach.
Otherwise, do nothing to the first input curve before attaching.
NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will cause
unpredictable results and is not supported.
Default: false
|
|
reverse2(rv2)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, reverse the second input curve before doing attach.
Otherwise, do nothing to the second input curve before
attaching. NOTE: setting this attribute to random values will
cause unpredictable results and is not supported.
Default: false
|
|
| Common flags |
constructionHistory(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off.
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
object(o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node.
|
|
replaceOriginal(rpo)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create "in place" (i.e., replace).
|
|
| Advanced flags |
caching(cch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
nodeState(nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
