pymel.core.modeling.polyMoveEdge¶

polyMoveEdge(*args, **kwargs)¶

Modifies edges of a polygonal object. Translate, move, rotate or scale edges.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
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.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyMoveEdge

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a sphere.
pm.polySphere( n='plg', r=5 )

pm.select( 'plg.e[200:219]', 'plg.e[560:599]' )
# Translate selected edges along Z in local coordinates.
pm.polyMoveEdge( ltz=1.0 )

# Scale selected edges by (0.5 0.5 0.5)
pm.polyMoveEdge( 'plg.e[100:119]', s=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5) )
