CreaseSet - superclass: modifier; super-superclass:MAXWrapper - 13:0 - classID: #(1874600602, -805078837)

Exposes the CreaseSet modifier to MAXScript. Available in 3ds Max 2016 and higher.

Constructors:

Properties:

Selection Rollout

<CreaseSet>.ignoreBackfacing     BooleanClass    default: false   --  boolean; Ignore_Backfacing

Gets/sets the state of the Ignore Backfacing checkbox.

<CreaseSet>.angleselecttype     Integer    default: 0   --  integer

Gets/sets the selection of the Face Angle Selection Type drop-down list.

This setting controls how the Face Angle range is specified in the UI and in MAXScript.

Possible values are:

0 - +/- mode - the Face Angle range is specified using a base angle and a plus/minus tolerance value relative to it. For example, if the .anglea is 90.0 and .angleb is 5.0, Face Angles between 85.0 and 95.0 degrees will be used to select edges.

1 - A/B mode - the Face Angle range is specified using the minimum and maximum values of the range. In the above example, .anglea will be 85.0 and .angleb will be 95.0.

<CreaseSet>.anglea     Float    default: 90.0   --  float; SelectAngle

Gets/sets the base angle value when .angleselecttype is set to 0.

Gets/sets the minimum angle value when .angleselecttype is set to 1.

Note that the value of this property will change depending on the .angleselecttype property value. For example, if .angleselecttype is set to 0 and .anglea is 90.0, and .angleb is changed from 5.0 to 10.0, switching .angleselecttype to 1 will show .anglea as 80.0 now and .angleb as 100.0.

<CreaseSet>.angleb     Float    default: 5.0   --  float; PlusMinusAngle

Gets/sets the angle +/- variation value when .angleselecttype is set to 0.

Gets/sets the maximum angle value when .angleselecttype is set to 1.

Note that the value of this property will change depending on the .angleselecttype property value. For example, if .angleselecttype is set to 0 and .anglea is 90.0, and .angleb is changed from 5.0 to 10.0, switching .angleselecttype to 1 will show .anglea as 80.0 now and .angleb as 100.0.

To actually perform the Select By Face Angle operation, you can use the <CreaseSet>.DoSelectByAngle() method exposed by the CreaseSetMod MixinInterface documented further on this page.

Crease Sets Rollout

<CreaseSet>.creasesetcrease     ArrayParameter    default: #()   --  float array

Gets/sets the array of Creases in the Crease Set.

<CreaseSet>.creasesetname     ArrayParameter    default: #()   --  string array

Gets/sets the array of Crease Names in the Crease Set.

<CreaseSet>.creasesettype     ArrayParameter    default: #()   --  int array

Gets/sets the array of Crease Types in the Crease Set.

<CreaseSet>.creasesetselect     ArrayParameter    default: #()   --  int array

Gets/sets the array of Crease selected states in the Crease Set.

<CreaseSet>.creasesetcolor     ArrayParameter    default: #()   --  RGB color array

Gets/sets the array of Crease Colors in the Crease Set.

<CreaseSet>.displaySetColors     BooleanClass    default: false   --  boolean

Gets/sets the state of the Display Crease Set Colors option.

When set to True, the Crease Sets will use the defined colors.

When set to False (default), no colors will be displayed.

Options Rollout

<CreaseSet>.autoSelectNodes     BooleanClass    default: false   --  boolean

Gets/sets the state of the Auto-Select Nodes option.

<CreaseSet>.tolerance     Float    default: 0.01   --  float

Gets/sets the value of the Tolerance option.

<CreaseSet>.keepExistingSets     BooleanClass    default: true   --  boolean

Gets/sets the state of the Keep Existing Sets option.

When set to True (default), adding new Crease Sets will preserve the existing Crease Sets.

When set to False, adding new Crease Sets will replace the existing Crease Sets.
