pymel.core.context.polySplitCtx¶

polySplitCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

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

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
enablesnap / es		bool
	Enable/disable custom magnet snapping to start/middle/end of edge
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
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.
magnetsnap / ms		int
	number of extra magnets to snap onto, regularly spaced along the edge
precsnap / ps		float
	precision for custom magnet snapping. Range[0,100]. Value 100 means any click on an edge will snap to either extremities or magnets.
smoothingangle / sma		float
	the threshold that controls whether newly created edges are hard or soft
snaptoedge / ste		bool
	Enable/disable snapping to edge. If enabled any click in the current face will snap to the closest valid edge. If there is no valid edge, the click will be ignored. NOTE: This is different from magnet snapping, which causes the click to snap to certain points along the edge.
subdivision / s		int
	number of sub-edges to add between 2 consecutive edge points. Default is 1. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polySplitCtx

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 poly split context, then switch to it
pm.polySplitCtx('polySplitCtx1')
pm.setToolTo('polySplitCtx1')
