Synopsis

polyAppendFacetCtx([append=boolean], [isRotateAvailable=boolean], [maximumNumberOfPoints=int], [planarConstraint=boolean], [rotate=float], [subdivision=int])

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

polyAppendFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

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

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
append(ap)	boolean
Allows to switch to polyCreateFacetCtx tool
isRotateAvailable(isr)	boolean
Tells if the control associated to rotate flag is available. If several edges are already selected and they are not aligned (thus there is no "rotation axis") the rotation is no longer available.
maximumNumberOfPoints(mp)	int
Allows the ability to set a upper bound on the number of points in interactively place before polygon is created. A value less than 2 will mean that there is no upper bound.
planarConstraint(pc)	boolean
Allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar. If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet plane. Selected edges will be checked as well.
rotate(r)	float
Rotate current facet around the first edge selected.
subdivision(s)	int
Number of sub-edges created for each new edge. Default is 1.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a poly plane
cmds.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=10, sy=10, n='pPlane1')

# Create a new poly append facet context, set it to add four vertices per new edge, and then switch to it
cmds.polyAppendFacetCtx('polyAppendFacetCtx1', s=4)
cmds.setToolTo('polyAppendFacetCtx1')
