pymel.core.modeling.multiProfileBirailSurface¶

multiProfileBirailSurface(*args, **kwargs)¶

The cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profiles using two rail curves. The two rails are the last two arguments. For examples, if 5 curves are specified, they will correspond to curve1curve2curve3rail1rail2. In this case, the cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profile curve1to profile curve2, profile curve2to profile curve3along the two rail curves rail1, rail2. There must be atleast 3 profile curves followed by the two rail curves. The profile curves must intersect the two rail curves. The constructed may be made tangent continuous to the first and last profile using the flags -tp1, -tp2 provided the profiles are surface curves i.e. isoparms, curve on surface or trimmed edge.

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.
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.
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)Advanced flags
tangentContinuityProfile1 / tp1		bool
	Tangent continuous across the first profile. The profile must be a surface curve. Default:false
tangentContinuityProfile2 / tp2		bool
	Tangent continuous across the last profile. The profile must be a surface curve. Default:false
transformMode / tm		int
	transform mode ( Non proportional, proportional ). Non proportional is default value. Default:0 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.multiProfileBirailSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.multiProfileBirailSurface( 'curve1', 'curve2', 'curve3', 'surface1.vn[0.5]', 'surface1.vn[1.0]', ch=True )

# tangent continuous surface across the first and last profile.
pm.multiProfileBirailSurface( 'surface1.vn[0.5]', 'curve1', 'surface1.vn[1.0]', 'curve3', 'curve4', ch=False, tp1=True, tp2=True )
