Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
polyMirrorFace is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Mirror all the faces of the selected object.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
direction(d)
|
int
|
|
|
This flag specifies the mirror direction.
C: Default is 0
|
|
mergeMode(mm)
|
int
|
|
|
This flag specifies the behaviour of the mirror with respect
to the border edges.
Valid values are 0-5, corresponding to +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z
direction respectively.
If the mode is 0, the border edges will not be merged
(co-incident vertices will be present).
If the mode is 1, the border vertices/edges will be merged
If the mode is 2, the border edges will be extruded and connected.
C: Default is 0
|
|
mergeThreshold(mt)
|
linear
|
|
|
This flag specifies the tolerance value for merging borders.
C: Default is 0.1
|
|
mergeThresholdType(mtt)
|
int
|
|
|
This flag specifies if the merge threshold is calculated automatically
based on the average length of the border edges.
|
|
mirrorAxis(ma)
|
int
|
|
|
This flag specifies what method to use to define the mirror axis
|
|
mirrorPosition(mps)
|
linear
|
|
|
This flag specifies the position of the custom mirror axis plane
|
|
pivot(p)
|
[linear, linear, linear]
|
|
|
This flag specifies the pivot for the mirror.
C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
|
|
pivotX(px)
|
linear
|
|
|
This flag specifies the X pivot for the mirror.
C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
|
|
pivotY(py)
|
linear
|
|
|
This flag specifies the Y pivot for the mirror.
C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
|
|
pivotZ(pz)
|
linear
|
|
|
This flag specifies the Z pivot for the mirror.
C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
|
|
worldSpace(ws)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
This flag specifies which reference to use.
If "on" : all geometrical values are taken in world reference.
If "off" : all geometrical values are taken in object reference.
C: Default is off.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
|
|
| 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
