pymel.core.modeling.extendCurve¶

extendCurve(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command extends a curve or creates a new curve as an extension

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.
distance / d		float
	The distance to extend Used only for extendMethod is byDistance. Default:1
extendMethod / em		int
	The method with which to extend: 0 - based on distance, 2 - to a 3D point Default:0
extensionType / et		int
	The type of extension: 0 - linear, 1 - circular, 2 - extrapolate Default:0
frozen / fzn		bool
inputPoint / ip		float, float, float
	The point to extend to (optional)
join / jn		bool
	If true, join the extension to original curve Default:true
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.
noChanges / nc		bool
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.
pointX / px		float
	X of the point to extend to Default:0
pointY / py		float
	Y of the point to extend to Default:0
pointZ / pz		float
	Z of the point to extend to Default:0
range / rn		bool
	Force a curve range on complete input curve.
removeMultipleKnots / rmk		bool
	If true remove multiple knots at join Used only if join is true. Default:false
replaceOriginal / rpo		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace). Advanced flags
start / s		int
	Which end of the curve to extend. 0 - end, 1 - start, 2 - both Default:1 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.extendCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# to extend the start of a curve with a line of distance 3
pm.extendCurve( em=0, et=0, s=True, d=3.0 )

# to extend the end of a curve to a point
pm.extendCurve( em=2, s=False, ip=(1, 2, 3) )
