pymel.core.context.polySelectEditCtx¶

polySelectEditCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

Create a new context to select and edit polygonal objects

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
absoluteOffset / abo		bool
	This flag is deprecated. Use splitType/stp instead. This flag is deprecated. Use splitType/stp instead.
adjustEdgeFlow / aef		float
	The weight value of the edge vertices to be positioned. Default:1.0f
autoComplete / ac		bool
	If true then use auto completion on selections
deleteEdge / de		bool
	When true, the end edges are deleted so the end triangles are converted to quads.
divisions / div		int
	Number of divisions. Default:2
endVertexOffset / evo		float
	Weight value controlling the offset of the end vertex of the edgeloop.
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
fixQuads / fq		bool
	Fixes splits which go across a quad face leaving a 5 and 3 sided faces by splitting from the middle of the new edge to the vertex accross from the edge on the 5 sided face. Default:false
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.
insertWithEdgeFlow / ief		bool
	True to enable edge flow. Otherwise, the edge flow is disabled. Default:false
mode / m		int
	which mode to work on. Available modes are 1-loop and 2-ring
smoothingAngle / sma		float
	Angle below which new edges will be smoothed Default:kPi
splitType / stp		int
	Format: 0 - Absolute, 1 - Relative, 2 - Multi Default:TdnpolySplitRing::Relative
startVertexOffset / svo		float
	Weight value controlling the offset of the start vertex of the edgeloop. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
useEqualMultiplier / uem		bool
	Changes how the profile curve effects the offset when doing a multisplit. If true then the verts will be offset the same distance based on the shortest edge being split. If false then each inserted edge loop will be offset a distance relative to the length of the edge that is being split. Default:true Flags from nodes

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polySelectEditCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a poly plane
pm.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=5, sy=5, n='pPlane1')

# Create a new poly select and edit context, then switch to it
pm.polySelectEditCtx('polySelectEditCtx1')
pm.setToolTo('polySelectEditCtx1')
