pymel.core.context.polyCutCtx¶

polyCutCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

Create a new context to cut facets on polygonal objects In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
deleteFaces / df		bool
	whether to delete the one-half of the cut-faces of the poly. If true, they are deleted. Default:false
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
extractFaces / ef		bool
	whether to extract the cut-faces of the poly into a separate shell. If true, they are extracted. Default:false
extractOffset / eo		float, float, float
	The displacement offset of the cut faces. Default:0.5, 0.5, 0.5
image1 / i1		unicode
	First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image2 / i2		unicode
	Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image3 / i3		unicode
	Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyCutCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a poly plane
pm.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=1, sy=1, n='pPlane1')

# Create a new cut facets context, then switch to it
pm.polyCutCtx('polyCutCtx1')
pm.setToolTo('polyCutCtx1')
