Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
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.
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
