filletCurve(*args, **kwargs)

The curve fillet command creates a fillet curve between two curves. If no objects are specified in the command line, then the first two active curves are used. The fillet created can be circular (with a radius) or freeform (with a type of tangent or blend).

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties
bias / b float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Adjusting the bias value causes the fillet curve to be skewed to one of the input curves. Available only if blendControl is true. Default:0.0
blendControl / bc bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  If true then depth and bias can be controlled. Otherwise, depth and bias are not available options. Default:false
caching / cch bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
circular / cir bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Curve fillet will be created as circular if true or freeform if false. Default:true
constructionHistory / ch bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Turn the construction history on or off.
curveParameter1 / cp1 float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Parameter where fillet curve will contact the primary input curve. Default:0.0
curveParameter2 / cp2 float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Parameter where fillet curve will contact the secondary input curve. Default:0.0
depth / d float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Adjusts the depth of the fillet curve. Available only if blendControl is true. Default:0.5
freeformBlend / fb bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The freeform type is blend if true or tangent if false. Available if the fillet type is freeform. Default:false
frozen / fzn bool  
   
join / jn bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Should the fillet be joined?
name / n unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
  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 ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  Maya dependency nodes have 6 possible states. The Normal (0), HasNoEffect (1), and Blocking (2)states can be used to alter how the graph is evaluated. The Waiting-Normal (3), Waiting-HasNoEffect (4), Waiting-Blocking (5)are for internal use only. They temporarily shut off parts of the graph during interaction (e.g., manipulation). The understanding is that once the operation is done, the state will be reset appropriately, e.g. Waiting-Blockingwill reset back to Blocking. The Normaland Blockingcases apply to all nodes, while HasNoEffectis node specific; many nodes do not support this option. Plug-ins store state in the MPxNode::stateattribute. Anyone can set it or check this attribute. Additional details about each of these 3 states follow. StateDescriptionNormalThe normal node state. This is the default.HasNoEffectThe HasNoEffectoption (a.k.a. pass-through), is used in cases where there is an operation on an input producing an output of the same data type. Nearly all deformers support this state, as do a few other nodes. As stated earlier, it is not supported by all nodes. Its typical to implement support for the HasNoEffectstate in the nodes compute method and to perform appropriate operations. Plug-ins can also support HasNoEffect. The usual implementation of this state is to copy the input directly to the matching output without applying the algorithm in the node. For deformers, applying this state leaves the input geometry undeformed on the output. BlockingThis is implemented in the depend node base class and applies to all nodes. Blockingis applied during the evaluation phase to connections. An evaluation request to a blocked connection will return as failures, causing the destination plug to retain its current value. Dirty propagation is indirectly affected by this state since blocked connections are never cleaned. When a node is set to Blockingthe behavior is supposed to be the same as if all outgoing connections were broken. As long as nobody requests evaluation of the blocked node directly it wont evaluate after that. Note that a blocked node will still respond to getAttrrequests but a getAttron a downstream node will not reevaluate the blocked node. Setting the root transform of a hierarchy to Blockingwont automatically influence child transforms in the hierarchy. To do this, youd need to explicitly set all child nodes to the Blockingstate. For example, to set all child transforms to Blocking, you could use the following script. import maya.cmds as cmds def blockTree(root): nodesToBlock = [] for node in {child:1 for child in cmds.listRelatives( root, path=True, allDescendents=True )}.keys(): nodesToBlock += cmds.listConnections(node, source=True, destination=True ) for node in {source:1 for source in nodesToBlock}.keys(): cmds.setAttr( ‘%s.nodeState’ % node, 2 ) Applying this script would continue to draw objects but things would not be animated. Default:kdnNormal
object / o bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Create the result, or just the dependency node.
radius / r float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
  The radius if creating a circular fillet. Default:1.0 Common flags
replaceOriginal / rpo bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Create in place(i.e., replace).
trim / t bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Should the fillet be trimmed? Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.filletCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a circular fillet (by default) having radius 2.5 between the
# active curves:
pm.filletCurve( r=2.5 )

# Create a freeform curve fillet between the two specified curves at
# these parameter values:
pm.filletCurve( 'curve1', 'curve2', cir=True, cp1=0.5, cp2=2.0 )
