Synopsis

globalStitch( surface surface... , [caching=boolean], [lockSurface=boolean], [maxSeparation=linear], [modificationResistance=float], [nodeState=int], [sampling=int], [stitchCorners=int], [stitchEdges=int], [stitchPartialEdges=boolean], [stitchSmoothness=int])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

globalStitch is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command computes a globalStitch of NURBS surfaces. There should be at least one NURBS surface. The NURBS surface(s) should be untrimmed.

Return value

string[]Object name and node name

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

Flags

caching, lockSurface, maxSeparation, modificationResistance, nodeState, sampling, stitchCorners, stitchEdges, stitchPartialEdges, stitchSmoothness
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
lockSurface(lk) boolean createqueryeditmultiuse

Default: 1
stitchPartialEdges(spe) boolean createqueryedit
Toggle on (off) partial edge stitching.
Default: false
stitchSmoothness(ss) int createqueryedit
Set type of smoothness of edge join. 0 - off 1 - tangent 2 - normal
