pymel.core.modeling.polyPlanarProjection

polyPlanarProjection(*args, **kwargs)

Projects a map onto an object, using an orthogonal projection. The piece of the map defined from isu, isv, icx, icy area, is placed at pcx, pcy, pcz location.

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 ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag when set true will create a new map with a the name passed in, if the map does not already exist.
frozen / fzn bool  
   
imageCenter / ic float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
imageCenterX / icx float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies X for the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
imageCenterY / icy float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies Y for the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
imageScale / imageScale float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the UV scale : Enlarges or reduces the 2D version of the model in U or V space relative to the 2D centerpoint. C: Default is 1.0 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
imageScaleU / isu float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  This flag specifies the U scale : Enlarges or reduces the 2D version of the model in U space relative to the 2D centerpoint. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.

  This flag specifies the mapping direction. ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ projects the map along the corresponding axis. ‘c’ projects along the current camera viewing direction. ‘p’ does perspective projection if current camera is perspective. ‘b’ projects along the best plane fitting the objects selected.

  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 enabledFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
perInstance / pi bool  
   
projectionCenter / pc float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
