pymel.core.modeling.polyProjectCurve¶

polyProjectCurve(*args, **kwargs)¶

The polyProjectCurve command creates curves by projecting a selected curve onto a selected poly mesh. The direction of projection will be the current view direction unless the direction vector is specified with the -direction/-d flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
addUnderTransform / aut		bool
automatic / automatic		bool
baryCoord / bc		float, float, float
baryCoord1 / bc1		float
baryCoord2 / bc2		float
baryCoord3 / bc3		float
caching / cch		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	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.
curveSamples / cs		int
direction / d		float, float, float
directionX / dx		float
directionY / dy		float
directionZ / dz		float
face / f		int
frozen / fzn		bool
name / n		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState / nds		int
	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.
object / o		bool
pointsOnEdges / poe		bool
tolerance / tol		float
triangle / t		int

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyProjectCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# create a poly plane in the z axis
poly = pm.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=10, sy=10, ax=(0,0,1), cuv=2, ch=1)

# create a nurbs circle also in the z axis
nurbs = pm.circle(ch=1, o=1, r=2, nr=(0,0,1))

# and project it onto the poly plane along the z axis
results = pm.polyProjectCurve(poly[0], nurbs[0], direction=(0,0,1))
