pymel.core.modeling.polyAutoProjection

polyAutoProjection(*args, **kwargs)

Projects a map onto an object, using several orthogonal projections simultaneously.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties
caching / cch bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
constructionHistory / ch bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
  Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object. Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
createNewMap / cm bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
  Create a new UV set, as opposed to editing the current one, or the one given by the -uvSetName flag.
frozen / fzn bool  
   
insertBeforeDeformers / ibd bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  This flag specifies if the projection node should be inserted before or after deformer nodes already applied to the shape. Inserting the projection after the deformer leads to texture swimming during animation and is most often undesirable. C: Default is on.
layout / l int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  What layout algorithm should be used: 0 UV pieces are set to no layout. 1 UV pieces are aligned along the U axis. 2 UV pieces are moved in a square shape.
layoutMethod / lm int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Set which layout method to use: 0 Block Stacking. 1 Shape Stacking.
name / n unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
  Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState / nds int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledGlobal Values
optimize / o int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Use two different flavors for the cut generation. 0 Every face is assigned to the best plane. This optimizes the map distortion. 1 Small UV pieces are incorporated into larger ones, when the extra distortion introduced is reasonable. This tends to produce fewer UV pieces.
percentageSpace / ps float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  When layout is set to square, this value is a percentage of the texture area which is added around each UV piece. It can be used to ensure each UV piece uses different pixels in the texture. Maximum value is 5 percent.
pivot / pvt float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the pivot for scaling and rotation. C: Default is 0.0 0.0 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
pivotX / pvx float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the X pivot for scaling and rotation. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
pivotY / pvy float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the Y pivot for scaling and rotation. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
pivotZ / pvz float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the Z pivot for scaling and rotation. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
planes / p int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Number of intermediate projections used. Valid numbers are 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12. C: Default is 6.
projectBothDirections / pb bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies which reference to use. If on: projections are mirrored on directly opposite faces. If off: projections are not mirrored on opposite faces. C: Default is off. Q: When queried, this flag returns an integer.
rotate / ro float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the rotation angles around X, Y, Z. C: Default is 0.0 0.0 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
rotateX / rx float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the rotation angle around X. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
rotateY / ry float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the rotation angle around Y. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
rotateZ / rz float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif

scaleMode / sc int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif

skipIntersect / si bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
