pymel.core.modeling.bevel¶

bevel(*args, **kwargs)¶

The bevel command creates a new bevel surface for the specified curve. The curve can be any nurbs curves.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
bevelShapeType / bst		int
	Shape type: 1 - straight cut, 2 - curve out, 3 - curve in Default:1
caching / cch		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off.
cornerType / ct		int
	Corner type: 1 - linear, 2 - circular Default:2
depth / d		float
	The depth for bevel Default:0.5
extrudeDepth / ed		float
	The extrude depth for bevel Default:1.0
frozen / fzn		bool
joinSurfaces / js		bool
name / n		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
numberOfSides / ns		int
object / o		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node.
polygon / po		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
range / rn		bool
	Force a curve range on complete input curve. Advanced flags
tolerance / tol		float
	The tolerance for bevel offsets Default:0.01
width / w		float
	The width for bevel Default:0.5 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.bevel

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Bevel (one) active curve with a width and depth of 1.5:
pm.bevel( w=1.5, d=1.5 )

# Create a single-sided bevel (at start) surface using the specified
# curve (with the default dimensions):
pm.bevel( 'curve1', ns=2 )
