Synopsis

polyAverageVertex( selectionList , [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [iterations=int], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [worldSpace=boolean])

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

polyAverageVertex 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
iterations(i)	int
Number of rounding steps.
worldSpace(ws)	boolean
This flag specifies which reference to use. If "true" : all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If "false" : all geometrical values are taken in object reference. C: Default is "false".
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

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 cube with a 5x5x5 subdivision.
cmds.polyCube( sx=5, sy=5, sz=5, n='plg' )

# Average all the vertices
cmds.polyAverageVertex( 'plg.vtx[*]' )
