Synopsis

polyMergeFacetCtx([activeNodes=boolean], [exists=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [immediate=boolean], [mergeMode=int], [name=string], [previous=boolean], [reset=boolean], [toolNode=boolean])

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

polyMergeFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to merge facets on polygonal objects

Return value

None

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

Flags

activeNodes, exists, image1, image2, image3, immediate, mergeMode, name, previous, reset, toolNode
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
activeNodes(anq) boolean query
Return the active nodes in the tool
exists(ex) boolean create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
image1(i1) string createqueryedit
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image2(i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image3(i3) string createqueryedit
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
immediate(im) boolean edit
Acts on the object not the tool defaults
mergeMode(mm) int createqueryedit
The merge mode. (at first facet : 0, in between : 1, at last facet : 2)
Default is in between.
name(n) string create
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
previous(pv) boolean edit
Reset to previously stored values
reset(rs) boolean edit
Reset to default values
toolNode(tnq) boolean query
Return the node used for tool defaults

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 merge facet context, set the merge mode to merging the second face to the first face, then switch to it
cmds.polyMergeFacetCtx('polyMergeFacetCtx1', mm=0)
cmds.setToolTo('polyMergeFacetCtx1')
