pymel.core.general.displaySurface¶

displaySurface(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command toggles display options on the specified or active surfaces. Typically this command applies to NURBS or poly mesh surfaces and ignores other type of objects.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
flipNormals / flp		bool
	flip normal direction on the surface
twoSidedLighting / two		bool
	toggle if the surface should be considered two-sided. If it’s single-sided, drawing and rendering may use single sided lighting and back face cull to improve performance.
xRay / x		bool
	toggle X ray mode (make surface transparent) Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.displaySurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.sphere(n='mySphere1')
pm.sphere(n='mySphere2')
pm.displaySurface( ['mySphere1', 'mySphere2'], two=False )
pm.displaySurface( xRay=True )
