pymel.core.modeling.polyExtrudeEdge

polyExtrudeEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Extrude edges separately or together.

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.
createCurve / cc bool  
   
divisions / d int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the number of subdivisions. C: Default is 1 Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
frozen / fzn bool  
   
gain / ga float  
   
inputCurve / inc PyNode ../../../_images/create.gif
  This flag specifies the name of the curve to be used as input for extrusion C: The selected edges will be extruded along the curve.

The extrusion is evenly distributed in the curve’s parameter space, and not on the curve’s geometry space
