pymel.core.modeling.pointPosition¶

pointPosition(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command returns the world or local space position for any type of point object. Valid selection items are: - curve and surface CVs - poly vertices - lattice points - particles - curve and surface edit points - curve and surface parameter points - poly uvs - rotate/scale/joint pivots - selection handles - locators, param locators and arc length locators It works on the selected object or you can specify the object in the command. By default, if no flag is specified then the world position is returned.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
local / l		bool
	Return the point in local space coordinates.
world / w		bool
	Return the point in world space coordinates. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.pointPosition

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.pointPosition( 'curve1.cv[3]' )
# Returns the (x,y,z) world position of curve1's 3rd CV.

pm.pointPosition( 'particle1.pt[1]', l=True )
# Returns the (x,y,z) local position of the particle point.
