pymel.core.context.polyAppendFacetCtx¶

polyAppendFacetCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

Create a new context to append facets on polygonal objects In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
append / ap		bool
	Allows to switch to polyCreateFacetCtx tool
exists / ex		bool
image1 / i1		unicode
image2 / i2		unicode
image3 / i3		unicode
isRotateAvailable / isr		bool
	Tells if the control associated to rotate flag is available. If several edges are already selected and they are not aligned (thus there is no rotation axis) the rotation is no longer available.
maximumNumberOfPoints / mp		int
	Allows the ability to set a upper bound on the number of points in interactively place before polygon is created. A value less than 2 will mean that there is no upper bound.
planarConstraint / pc		bool
	Allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar. If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet plane. Selected edges will be checked as well.
rotate / r		float
	Rotate current facet around the first edge selected.
subdivision / s		int
	Number of sub-edges created for each new edge. Default is 1. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
texture / tx		int

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyAppendFacetCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a poly plane
pm.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=10, sy=10, n='pPlane1')

# Create a new poly append facet context, set it to add four vertices per new edge, and then switch to it
pm.polyAppendFacetCtx('polyAppendFacetCtx1', s=4)
pm.setToolTo('polyAppendFacetCtx1')
