pymel.core.modeling.intersect¶

intersect(*args, **kwargs)¶

The intersect command creates a curve on surface where all surfaces intersect with each other. By default, the curve on surface is created for both surfaces. However, by using the -fs flag, only the first surface will have a curve on surface. Also, the intersection curve can be created as a 3D curve rather than a curve on surface.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
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.
curveOnSurface / cos		bool
	If possible, create 2D curve as a result.
firstSurface / fs		bool
	Creates a curve-on-surface on the first surface only or on all surfaces (default).
frozen / fzn		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.
object / o		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node. Advanced flags
tolerance / tol		float
	Tolerance to fit to. Default:0.01 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.intersect

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Intersect the two active surfaces and create the resulting curve on
# surface as a 3D curve (note: only one 3D curve is created for each
# pair of intersecting surfaces):
pm.intersect( cos=True )

# Intersect the nurbs sphere and nurbs plane, creating a curve-on-surface
# on each surface:
pm.intersect( 'nurbsSphere1', 'nurbsPlane1', fs=True )
