pymel.core.modeling.extendSurface¶

extendSurface(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command extends a surface or creates a new surface 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.
distance / d		float
	The distance to extend (for by distance only) Default:1
extendDirection / ed		int
	Which parametric direction of the surface to extend ( 0 - U, 1 - V, 2 - both ) Default:0
extendMethod / em		int
	The extend method (0 - distance) Default:0
extendSide / es		int
	Which end of the surface to extend ( 0 - end, 1 - start, 2 - both ) Default:1
extensionType / et		int
	The type of extension (0 - tangent, 2 - extrapolate) Default:0
frozen / fzn		bool
join / jn		bool
	Join extension to original Default:true Common flags
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.
replaceOriginal / rpo		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace). Advanced flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.extendSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#Create a nurbs plane, then extend both sides of the plane by 10
pm.nurbsPlane(n='plane1')
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.extendSurface('plane1', d=10, es=2)
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.ExtendSurface(u'extendSurface1')] #
