polyChipOff(*args, **kwargs)¶

Extract facets. Faces can be extracted separately or together, and manipulations can be performed either in world or object space.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
attraction / att		float
	This flag specifies the attraction, related to magnet. C: Default is 0.0. The range is [-2.0, 2.0]. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
caching / cch		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Duplicate
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', w=10, h=10 )
pm.polyChipOff( 'plg.f[71:72]', 'plg.f[81:82]', dup=True, ltz=1 )
#facets are duplicated and translated in local space

# Extract
pm.polyChipOff( 'plg.f[11:12]', 'plg.f[21:22]', dup=False, ty=1 )
#facets are extracted and translated in world space

# Separate
pm.polyChipOff( 'plg.f[15:16]', 'plg.f[23:24]', dup=False, kft=False, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
#facets are extracted then scaled separately

# Together
pm.polyChipOff( 'plg.f[73:74]', 'plg.f[83:84]', dup=False, kft=True, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
#facets are extracted then scaled together
