stitchSurface(*args, **kwargs)

The stitchSurface command aligns two surfaces together to be G(0) and/or G(1) continuous by ajusting only the Control Vertices of the surfaces. The two surfaces can be stitched by specifying the two isoparm boundary edges that are to stitched together. The edge to which the two surfaces are stitched together is obtained by doing a weighted average of the two edges. The weights for the two edges is specified using the flags -wt0, -wt1 respectively.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties
bias / b float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Blend CVs in between input surface and result from stitch. A value of 0.0 returns the input surface. Default:1.0
caching / cch bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
cascade / c bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Cascade the created stitch node. (Only if the surface has a stitch history) Default is ‘false’.
constructionHistory / ch bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Turn the construction history on or off.
cvIthIndex / ci int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The ith boundary CV index on the input surface. Default:-1
cvJthIndex / cj int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The jth boundary CV index on the input surface. Default:-1
fixBoundary / fb bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Fix Boundary CVs while solving for any G1 constraints. Default:false
frozen / fzn bool  
   
keepG0Continuity / kg0 bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Stitch together with positional continuity. Default is ‘true’.
keepG1Continuity / kg1 bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Stitch together with tangent continuity. Default is ‘false’.
name / n unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
  Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
numberOfSamples / ns int ../../../_images/create.gif
  The number of samples on the edge. Default is 20.
object / o bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Create the result, or just the dependency node.
parameterU / u float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The U parameter value on surface for a point constraint. Default:-10000
parameterV / v float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The V parameter value on surface for a point constraint. Default:-10000
positionalContinuity / pc bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle on (off) G0 continuity at edge corresponding to multi index. Default:true
replaceOriginal / rpo bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Create in place(i.e., replace).
stepCount / sc int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Step count for the number of discretizations. Default:20
tangentialContinuity / tc bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle on (off) G1 continuity across edge corresponding to multi index. Default:false
togglePointNormals / tpn bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle on (off) normal point constraints on the surface. Default:false
togglePointPosition / tpp bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle on (off) position point constraints on the surface. Default:true
toggleTolerance / tt bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle on (off) so as to use Tolerance or specified steps for discretization. Default:false
tolerance / tol float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Tolerance to use while discretizing the edge. Default:0.1 Common flags
weight0 / wt0 float ../../../_images/create.gif
  The weighting factor for the first edge. Default is 0.5.
weight1 / wt1 float ../../../_images/create.gif
  The weighting factor for the second edge. Default is 0.5. Advanced flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.stitchSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Stitch the two surfaces along the two specified surface isoparam with C0 continuity.
# Since wt0 = 0.0, both the surfaces are stitched to surface2.vn[0] really.
pm.stitchSurface( 'surface1.vn[1.0]', 'surface2.vn[0.0]', kg0=False, kg1=True, cascade=False, ns=100, wt0=0.0, wt1=1.0 )
