nurbsCube([axis=[linear, linear, linear]], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [degree=int], [heightRatio=float], [lengthRatio=float], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [patchesU=int], [patchesV=int], [pivot=[linear, linear, linear]], [polygon=int], [width=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
nurbsCube is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The nurbsCube command creates a new NURBS Cube made up of six
planes. It creates an unit cube with center at origin by default.

Properties |
|
axis(ax)
|
[linear, linear, linear]
|
  
|
|
|
degree(d)
|
int
|
|
|
The degree of the resulting surface.
1 - linear,
2 - quadratic,
3 - cubic,
5 - quintic,
7 - heptic
Default: 3
|
|
heightRatio(hr)
|
float
|
|
|
Ratio of "height" to "width"
Default: 1.0
|
|
lengthRatio(lr)
|
float
|
|
|
Ratio of "length" to "width"
Default: 1.0
|
|
patchesU(u)
|
int
|
|
|
Number of sections in U
Default: 1
|
|
patchesV(v)
|
int
|
|
|
Number of sections in V
Default: 1
|
|
pivot(p)
|
[linear, linear, linear]
|
|
|
The primitive's pivot point
|
|
width(w)
|
linear
|
|
|
Width of the object
Default: 1.0
|
|
| 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.
|
|
polygon(po)
|
int
|
|
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)

|
|
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.
