pymel.core.modeling.bevelPlus¶

bevelPlus(*args, **kwargs)¶

The bevelPlus command creates a new bevel surface for the specified curves using a given style curve. The first curve should be the outsidecurve, and the (optional) rest of them should be inside of the first one. For predictable results, the curves should be planar and all in the same plane.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
bevelInside / bin		bool
	If true, ensure surface always remains within the original profile curve Default:false
caching / cch		bool
capSides / cap		int
	How to cap the bevel. 1 - no caps2 - cap at start only3 - cap at end only4 - cap at start and endDefault:4
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off.
depth / d		float
extrudeDepth / ed		float
frozen / fzn		bool
innerStyle / innerStyle		int
	Similar to outerStyle, this style is applied to all but the first (outer) curve specified.
joinSurfaces / js		bool
	Attach bevelled surfaces into one surface for each input curve. Default:true
name / n		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds		int
normalsOutwards / no		bool
	If enabled, the normals point outwards on the resulting NURBS or poly surface.
numberOfSides / ns		int
	How to apply the bevel. 1 - no bevels2 - bevel at start only3 - bevel at end only4 - bevel at start and endDefault:4
outerStyle / os		int
	Choose a style to use for the bevel of the first (outer) curve. There are 15 predefined styles (values 0 to 14 can be used to select them). For those experienced with MEL, you can, after the fact, specify a custom curve and use it for the style curve. See the documentation for styleCurve node to see what requirements a style curve must satisfy.
polyOutChordHeight / cht		float
polyOutChordHeightRatio / chr		float
polyOutCount / poc		int
polyOutCurveSamples / pcs		int
polyOutCurveType / pct		int
polyOutExtrusionSamples / pes		int
polyOutExtrusionType / pet		int
polyOutMethod / pom		int
polyOutUseChordHeight / uch		bool
polyOutUseChordHeightRatio / ucr		bool
polygon / po		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
range / rn		bool
	Force a curve range on complete input curve. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
tolerance / tol		float
width / w		float

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.bevelPlus

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.circle()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsCircle1'), nt.MakeNurbCircle(u'makeNurbCircle1')] #
pm.scale( 10, 10, 10, r=True )
pm.circle()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsCircle2'), nt.MakeNurbCircle(u'makeNurbCircle2')] #
pm.scale( 5, 5, 5, r=True )
pm.bevelPlus( 'nurbsCircle1', 'nurbsCircle2', po=1, cap=4, outerStyle=2, innerStyle=4 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'bevelPolygon1'), nt.BevelPlus(u'bevelPlus1')] #
